hi,
im not an experienced yorkie mum, i can only tell you how I dealt with the same problem. We picked bella up in a crate (which was too big) but she was fne all night in it, then we swapped it for 2 sizes smaller. We put all her stuff in it and went to shut her in it while we went out for half an hour and she yelled the house down. So we swapped it for a slghtly bigger one, got her an electric heat pad and took the door off. We then enticed her in it with treats and when she went in it, we praised her lke crazy. She always goes n there now.Today we are putting the door back on, will give her time to adjust then start shutting the door fr a few secnds and open and treat her. Just introduce them to it steadily and make it the place they feel safe and loved in. Thats my view and it seems to be working............ so far! hope this helps! good luck! |
