Venus is 6 months too. As soon as I let her sleep in the bed with me, she started sleeping through the night. I also have a pee pad inside a litter box in the bedroom, and pet steps so she can go in the middle of the night also. So could be, she's going to the litter box when I'm sleeping, who knows? But I'm getting a full nights sleep, and she's not going on the bed or floor, so thats the good part!
I don't know what to tell you about the barking. Venus hears my car pull up, and starts hers too. Soon as I step out the car, I hear her. I'm sure she hears the car leave too. I hope she shuts up when I leave! Might want to pull your car a door or 2 down, then sneak back to listen. She might know you haven't left and your outside possibly? I've noticed when I crate Venus before I leave, she raises more h*ll when I pull back up too! But she's not ready to run the house.
I recently bought several kitty litter boxes, and put Venus's pads in them. I cut the front of them out, so she would have a step-in. Was a lot cheaper than the 23 dollar doggie litter boxes. That helps with the missing with the pee pads and keeps them from going on the edge. And much easier to clean than the floor or carpet. I just can't get her to poo on the pads whether they are out of the box or in them! She did for a while, then suddenly quit.
They don't pee off the pad on purpose.. I've noticed with Venus, that 2 feet have been on the pad....but they the wrong 2 feet! They think cause their front feet are on it, they ok. They are trying!
I just have a poo problem now. |
