Can you put his crate in your bed room next to your bed, put a shirt you have recently worn in the crate with him. If he cries at night he will be in the crate next to you, you can reach down to the crate, he will smell you and know you are near and he is not alone. |
Hi,
Many thanks for your response. We will be trying the crate in our room tonight and see how he gets on. The main reason he slept on our bed last night was so he is a little familiar with the room and us sleeping, and to also see if it solved the crying.
The plan is he will hopfully feel a lot more re-assured about being in that situation tonight now, as it's not so "unknown" to him anymore.
I'll try put the crate onto chairs by our bed so he can see us. I will be putting my shirt in there from today so he has my scent to (poor bugger!)
I went for a shower this morning and he cried all the way through.
I think once he realises he is not being abandoned / left on his own and we are coming back, he will relax the crying a bit.
Hopfully this will all be pushing him in the right direction!
