Since she has now learned that if she causes a commotion, that you wikll take her in your bed, it is going to be harder to break her, but not impossible.
As I have advised my children about raising my grandchildren, "Don't start anything that you don't want to become a habit". Because while you are thinkiing "well just for tonight". They are thinking "Wow that worked pretty slick".
So I'm afraid if you want her to sleep in the crate, you are going to have a few noisy nights ahead of you. But don't think you can have it both ways. It either has to be one or the other. You cannot reson with a dog any more than you can with a small child. |
