Hi everyone:
I am wondering if it's normal for your dog to cry and scream and fling themselves against their crates when they go to bed at night.
Up until recently, Lily slept in bed with us. When she fell out a couple of night ago and we took her to the ER, he said she needs to be in her crate to sleep until she is big enough to jump down from the bed...
Well, she is used to sleeping with us....and now, she whines uncontrollably when she is put in her crate to sleep. During the day when we work, she is fine -- but at night, she WAILS...
I feel like a creton, so I usually take her out b/c I worry I will wake our neighbors (apt living!)..... Does anyone have suggestions for soothing her? I have her in a wire crate, with a blanket over three sides. I also put the cage right at the height of my bed right next to me so that she will see me, and be able to feel me if she needs to.
I am at a lost..... any suggestions would be wonderfully appreciate
