Hi, I brought George home at 8weeks and he has been great . Did crate him at night for a few nights but he cried so much but he used the pad all day without prompting and slept in the crate with the door open so we just made sure he was in a very safe area and left him down stairs with his food and water accessible..it worked out fine he never cried at the gate ...I left a night light for him ..as soon as we went up stairs he'd go in his crate ..I'd sneak down after about 10 mins and he'd be still there ....he's 7 months now and sleeps thru the night in bed with me ,this started during his healing from neutering, he kept working his mouth under the cone and getting it caught so he needed to be watched or at least close by ...but that was weeks ago and now he just sleeps with me and does he hate to get up in the morning loves to sleep until 8 or 8:30..not sure if any of this helps you. |
