I got Cali at 9 weeks and she loved being in her doggie playpen and would run into it when I said I was going out. It was in my bedroom and she could see me from it. Sometimes during the night I would put her in a small crate on my bed next to me and she would go back to sleep till morning. Pixie I got at 13 months untrained and she hated the crate so I let her sleep on the bed but put pee pads everywhere in my room. I got Roxie at 4 months and she would stay in it when I wasn't home and at night for the first few weeks, but she pad trained pretty quick so she started sleeping with us after that. I trained then how to use the ramp on the side of the bed first thing so they could get up and down and use the pad. So I woud do what works best for you and them |
