Could your dogs be any cuter? I put mine in a small puppy fence, the floor was comepletly covered with piddle pads next to my bed. His crate was right in the middle of the fence with the door off, so he could get in and out. This way I could touch him and comfort him if he neded it. Everytime I found him asleep outside of the crate, I put him back in it. By the second night, he was going to sleep in the crate by himself. On the third night, I put the door back on and and closed it. Tucker harldly wined. By the fourth night the puppy fence was gone and he was just inside the closed crate. He still wined for a few minutes for about a week. Now, three weeks later, he's no problem at all and sleeps in his crate all night. HTH! |
