My Sushi started out sleeping in her crate until she was pad trained. I then put her in bed with me for a while( which she loved) but sometimes when I woke up she would be out of the bed & I became worried she might get hurt jumping out of the bed. So I started putting her in her crate again. Now every night she goes to her crate on her own & is content. I no longer close her in because its not necessary. I know she would probably rather be in bed with me but she is safer on the ground. |
