3 or 4 months.. I can't remember exactly. He only went potty in my bed ONE time and boy did he know that mommy was ticked off at him! I was one of those people that before bringing Howie home said that dogs don't belong in bed with humans. Then I realized that he was lonely and bored at night. The only thing that got him to sleep for a reasonable amount of time was letting him cuddle up with me. He's getting pretty good at sleeping for long periods now - last night he slept from 12:30am - 9:00am!!!! That's the longest it's been, I think! Haha maybe your post brought me some good luck!
When you have Bella in the house with you, have you consider attaching her leash to your belt loop and letting her follow you around? It helps to establish a leadership mentality and you can keep an eye on her and she'll be with you so she won't be yapping away in her crate. I tried something similar with Howie and it worked!
