I brought Remi's whelping box in the livingroom and sat it beside the recliner while she was in labor. I went out with her each time she wanted to go and kept the other dogs from bothering her. We watched groom all about it together. Terry came home at 10:30 so into the office we went and she was ready to push. Keeping it quiet and lowkey is so important and until Terry was there they would have carried on about being locked out of the room so this worked well for us. Keep a close eye on your gal and help her to relax. I sit in a beanbag and read a book when we're in the whelping pen, it relaxes us both.
