stacy - i had planned on having my pup sleep in her crate until she was housetrained, but i couldn't stand the nonstop whining. i started letting her sleep with me - figuring she would get up to squat if she had to potty and i'd feel it if she got up - and she's never had an accident in my bed. i also take her food/water and put it away appx. 3 hours before bedtime, but i don't feed freely - i do it on a schedule. it doesn't matter if i wake up at 6am or 10am - she lies there right under my arm until i wake up - and that's when i take her outside. i guess if she really had to go and couldn't wait - she'd wiggle out of my arms to squat - and i'd know to take her out.
i have plenty of accidents during the day in my house, but never one in the bed! just saying - incase you'd like to try it.[/QUOTE]
I have this huge king size bed and it is really high I am afraid she will fall. I may try to see what she does. |
