I have had Diezel for about 9 months now. And I just started getting sleep about 2 months ago... I tried everything.. in the crate out of the crate, and could not get it right. I try letting him sleep with the crate open gated in the kitchen and he just isnt having it. If I am in the house and he can run around he will throw a fit until I get up. Now I keep him in the other room, in a small comfy crate, door closed and a towel over it. He threw a fit for about 3 or 4 days and now he is fine. He does make me chase him to go in but when he does I close the door give him a few cherrios (thanks YT for that advice as treat) and to sleep I go.
I just hope soon he will sleep with the door open so I dont have to interupt my sleep or rush out of bed to let him out!
I think it is just a matter of figuring out what makes your puppy the most comfy... Good luck! |
