Well I have never done it in that order. Mine always start out in a crate and then graduate to my bed.
Put a real nice treat in her crate every night, it has to be one she really loves. I did this with mine and they learned to love the crate because they knew they got a treat everytime they went in. For the first couple of nights I would try playing some soft music to help relieve her stress and cover the crate, it gives it more of a den feel to them. |
