I did the same think with Lizzie as puppy. I start getting them use to it when they first come home. I wi rock them just like a baby till the nod off then put them down usable they will sleep about 2 to 3 hours. Once they nod off I put them in the cage upstairs in the bedroom with the blinds closed and soft music. It is 2 1/2 years latter and she Till naps on that schedule just now she sleeps on the couch.
The bundle of fur is 4 months old. She is wide open when she is awake. It took her a day or two to catch on but she will go to sleep. I get them up at 6 Am they go potty then play ti 10 am then they eat go for a walk then it is nap time for all three They sleep about 3 hours the. We go potty then go for our second walk I let them play for about 2 to 3 hours. The. We have snuggle play time and then they sit and watch tv. Then our last potty. Then it is bedtime. They sleep with us so it is about 15 min of play once they Re in bed the. They will doze off I give them a bone if they a restless and they fall asleep chewing.
It is a very set schedu but it has made life much easier. I have rarely have rights. They are all best friends. They even share their toys and beds now. I am lucky my husband works from home and now I am not working due to a back injury
The naps really help. It is just a matter of setting a schedule and sticking to it. When we have play time I try to spend time time playing with all three of rhem |
