coral did the same exact thing. it went from 1 time a night to 3, because she realized it got her out and she would get to sleep in the bed from about 4 or 5 on. now i have a pad and her bed in the crate and i will not let her out until my alarm goes off, no matter how much she cries, which is less and later as time goes on. then, at 6 a.m. when my alarm goes off, i take her right outside and she goes. i wake up at that time on the weekends now also (just to let her out) and then she sleeps with me until i am ready to get up. |
