I regret that to this day. I read an article that said, it made sence at
the time, to leave the crate in a place that your puppy will be spending
most of it's time when it comes home. That was the kitchen. I left night
lights all over on all four walls but my bedroom was far away. I wish
I didn't listen to that article and left his crate next to my bed. I feel
sad even today 6yrs later that he came home to a new home in a strange
place and slept alone at night. I would crate train your puppy but leave
the crate by your bed with a cover over the top for security. Once trained
put his bed next to your bed. If he wants up I would allow him to sleep with you, which was Buddy's choice but if he sleeps in his own bed at that
point I wouldn't encourage it. It's really better he sleep in his own bed. |
Both of my sleep with me if they want, which they do LOl !!
But I also have their bed next to my if they want to sleep there, every once's in a while Miley will go to it, but Max's never leaves my bed.
And they both started in the crate, until train and than they decide if they want mom's bed or not.
NOOOOOO pee pad on bed !!!!! No No, only on the floor in different bathroom , and in a corner in the kitchen.
Congrat's !!! And Good Luck with your new furbaby.
