Putting things in there that smell like you or your wife is also a great idea. But patience is the key, don't feel overwhelmed...it shouldn't take but a few nights for her to understand...it's sleep time, not play time. Again good luck, and welcome to YorkieTalk, if I haven't said that already!!! |
I have the crate where I can see her at night. I could pull it closer so that when she whines I can tell her to just go to sleep. However most people say to ignore her unless she carries on?
