Crate vs your bed is a personal choise. I have done it both ways and both work. Mina does sleep with us and if she wakes up around 6am,then I put my hand on her (hold her) tell her that it isn't time,"shhh go back to sleep". She goes back to sleep and we get up at a little later. She doesn't hardly ever wake up that early and if she does it is usually because my son is leaving for work,not because she really needs to go potty.
If she can make it that long in her crate,then she can make it that long on your bed. |
