Hi everyone! I am a new Yorkie owner, but have been reading the forums long before I got my little Mia. You guys are just great! Maybe you can help me out. Okay, here is the deal...
We got Mia 2 weeks ago (she was 8 wks old, now 10 wks). We have been putting her in a crate at night time and when we cannot keep our full attention on her (like when I am in the shower, or have to run a few errands, etc). Her crate started out in the kitchen... she cried and cried and cried. So we moved it to the bedroom...she still cried and barked...and cried! So after a few nights of NO sleep, we moved her back to the kitchen...still crying. Will she ever get used to her crate? As soon as she is potty trained, she can be wherever she wants to, but for the time being, she has to be in there, and it is breaking my heart to hear her so sad. I take her to work with me, so it is not like she is in her crate very much. Maybe a couple of hours during the day, and then all night. But she HATES that thing! Any suggestions????? Thanks!
