I have gotten advise suggesting to let her be wherever she's most comfortable through her first part of labor and then when the pups come you can insist she go to her whelp box when she's delivering. My dog is the same way, she likes my bed. I planned on letting her stay there until she's in labor than you can take the bed away and she'll probably understand that's her spot. I was planning on putting down a protective layer so my bed doesn't get nasty, but to move her to her box when she get's going inot hard labor. I had planned on getting her used to her whelp box before hand but it only upsets her at this point, so since she's so spoiled I changed that plan. Good Luck, keep us posted! |
