When she was born, my parents dog was still alive and still remained in their bed (with the baby too). How much space does a little Yorkie really take up?
I'm not against training a dog to sleep on it's own bed, but it just seems like if this has been her life for 3 years, it would be a little ... mean to change that? I am sure there is already enough changes adding a new baby to the family.
But if you must, I would clicker train her to enjoy her own bed. Does she know 'lay down' or 'stay'? |
Teddy slept in our bed up till recently (during the winter), but we had a visit by the baby's peds and she was so against it. I am a first time mom, so I just try to follow whatever advice they give. Also as the weather was getting warmer, I thought it was a good time to start training him.
