I read what you have on your site and agree with what you are saying. We have always crate trained puppies and the first few nights are always difficult. Our puppies have always grown to be well socialized, well behaved, and well loved and loving. We have always started them out in their crate at night. Then we feel terrible guilt when they wimper and cry.
My question is, understanding that yorkie puppies can be prone to hypoglycemia, the bathroom we used previously is on the first floor and our bedroom is on the second floor. I received advice on this site to put her in her crate at my bedside till she got used to her crate and being in it. That way if she has problems in the night, I am right there to help her out if needed (with Nutrical). Do you agree with this or do you recommend we use the bathroom like we did with our other dogs, or the upstairs bathroom instead? Her crate comes down to the den during the day so she is not lonesome. I am afraid to take any chances on her having a problem in the night, especially since she is still very young.
BTW, it looks like you do everything the same we do to train our dogs so I like your style. LOL
