However We Tried And He Cried So My Daughter Slept On Sofa With Him For 4 Nights (we Just Couldnt Bear To Leave Him To Cry - It Was That Little Face!!!!!!).
When I Took Him To Be Checked At The Vet - He Told Me I Should Get Him Into The Sleeping Pattern I Wanted For Him Straight Away - As It Was Unfair To Get Him Used To A Different Way Then Change Him Again. It Was Heartbreaking And He Cried For About An Hour For The First 3 Days - But Eventually Stopped And Though He Doesnt Love His Crate - He Doesnt Object To Going To Bed At All.
We Take Him Out To Wee Regularly And He Hardly Has Any Accidents - He Is 10 Months Now And Weighs 3.5 Lb.
Good Luck With Your Little One. |
Thanks for the info Diane. Quick question - did you take him to go potty in the middle of the night? Or did he do it on the wee pad on the side of his crate? If it's the latter, how big is your crate? I bought the smallest I could find, but the pup is soooo tiny, she will only take up one little corner.
