Havent slept, help! I have a 5 month old yorkie that suddenly regressed. He spends his time in the kitchen/living room downstairs and comes up with me to my room to sleep at night. For the past week, he has been refusing to sleep in my room. There have been no environmental changes, nor did I move anything around in my room. When we go upstairs he scratches, barks, whimpers, and does not stop until he's let out into the kitchen. Even then I have to be there with him. I hate sleeping in the living room/kitchen, and he hates sleeping in my room. I tried to give him access from my room to where he wants to sleep, but that didn't help either. He also has been eating a lot less frequently (I suspect this is due to teething, but not sure?) Has anyone had similar experiences? How do I get him more comfortable at night. |
I have not had any experience with this type of issue, it certainly you need your sleep. Have you tried crating him in your room at night? |
Hello and welcome to YT Crate might be a good idea Never knew a dog that never wanted to sleep in a bed before! |
Awww...I can sympathize with you. When I got Scottie at 5 months, I lost about 3 months of sleep. I chose the crate training method and it was not easy, but it was worth it! Poor you, I wouldn't want to sleep in the kitchen either! It's time for you to take the reins and not let him be your boss. ;) I'd also suggest to tire him out before the end of the night. That may help? |
So he used to sleep in his crate, but he was never able to sleep in there. I felt bad for him, and since my bed is low to the ground he just jumped up and slept there. he has never had accidents in my bed so i was going well until this. Whats the best way to go about crate training for a puppy with high anxiety in closed spaces? |

Teddy liked having an open door wire crate in the xpen when he was a pup. Try to figure out the differences between the kitchen and your bedroom to determine what it is that your pup prefers between the two rooms. Is there a little bit of light in the kitchen, even an uncovered window, that makes a difference? Different sounds? Maybe there is something comforting that you could replicate in your bedroom with a nightlight or white noise maker. |
