I really believe in crate training. I find that it does take them time to get used to it, but it's so beneficial in the end! We've had a few terriers and have a Yorkie now, and we noticed that if they are given free reign to sleep on our bed or lay on our bed, the chances of them not liking their bed goes up.

I'm realizing that with Yorkies, consistency is the best. It does take a lot of work, but Mr. Gibbs loves to sleep in his bed now! He has two blankets that we swap, and he loves how soft and fluffy they are - I think it reminds him of our bed. Our only problem is his marking.

Keep it up, it'll be worth it in the end!
