| Hannah, what would he do if you closed the bedroom door and left him in a bed in another room, but didn't crate him?

| OH Poor Thor!!! Maybe he has had to many changes at one time and he is alittle freaked out. He will adjust in time. But I hope you don't mind me asking but why does you BF have problem with Thor sleeping with you? I know when my DH and I first moved in together I told him they my cat sleep with me and there was not way I was change that because she had sleep with me for 10 yrs prior to him. Anyways, hope Thor settles down. Good luck!!! |

I Love Thor Donating Member | Quote:
To answer some other question, he slept in my room with me on the floor, or in the bed, which ever he chose. He's always been flexible I guess you could say. When I lived with my X he slept in the bed. Then I moved home with my 'rents and he slept in his crate, then in my room, or sometimes in my parents bed. Why can't he sleep in our room anymore. My BF is a firefigher has a crazy schedule, needs sleep when he's home, and sleeps very lightly. Thor gets up and whines in the night. OR will just start prancing around. Our bedroom is very small and we can't fit a crate in there. He's got water, a blanket, a shirt that smells like me, a bone...a nice bed...He just has to be at my feet all the time. Also my BF is tired of Thor being so attached to me (he is a little too attached) and get jealous of the attention that I have to give to Thor constantly so he'll just act normal. Everyone says this will take time but how long? I can't do this much longer and I don't want to give up on him. thanks for listening and all the responses! | |

| There is just a ton of free information on the web on training issues. Thor is showing aggression - he believes he's the boss. I suspect he is. or source is: http://www.flyingdogpress.com/ This author is very good! Try also http://www.petplace.com/ and http://www.yourpurebredpuppy.com/ I think Thor needs some training. You could also talk to a local trainer and see if you can buy an hour's worth of his/her time for a prvate session and discuss the issues that are the worst. Mine charges $35.00. Good luck!! |

| Know what you are going through We moved with our 6 months old puppies from Arkansas to Illinois and Had to retrain them again. He needs to get use to his new home.... and probably confused as to where he is suppose to go...... It is an adjust ment for them too...... Also, if your puppy was use to having just you around and now you have the boyfriend, he could be feeling neglected and needs some extra attention. We put our boys in crates in our bed room and they quit the whining. But needless to say, we have them in bed with us..... It takes time and whenever a dog has changes they become upset. I can't move furniture without them running around trying to figure out what happened. Or they will bark at the change until they get use to it. hang in there.... and things will get better |

| I feel for you. But I can't stop myself from saying... No man should boot your baby dog out of bed, especially after a recent move. Aren't you a package deal? What happens if he gets so jealous of your dog he asks you to get rid of him? I know 2 girls that actually happened to. In both cases, these girls now wish they never would've gotten rid of their dogs. I know this isn't your situation yet, but I just thought I'd share. Good luck with everything.

| I know really you are very frustrated with your dog and it sounds because of your bf that gets jealous. To tell you the truth I feel sorry for your puppy, not only there are all these new changes in his life but people that suppose to love him are not able to do this at this time, since they are so consumed with their lives. Sorry if it sounds harsh, but why are you bf competing with your dog and if he loves and cares for you shouldn't he do the same for someone your love? Dogs are like children not all of them are perfect and behave the way we would like. If he was a child hopefully, we would not suddenly make him change his life or behavior when the bf was in the picture and if he didn't comply simply start hating him for it. My opinion the bf should stop being a baby and start being more understanding and coming from personal experience if the bf doesn't like the dog soon he may not like you... |

| Try putting a softly ticking clock in his crate, a nice soft blankie and his fav toy. Walk him for awhile before bed time so hes tired, then put him in his crate with those things and put a blanket over the crate. That worked wonders with my boys! They settled right down with the blanket over the crate! They must have felt warmer or safer, or maybe it was quieter bc the blanket muffled the noises. Good Luck!!! |

Seriously though, your bf needs to understand that your baby is your baby! What happens if someday you have a real baby? He cannot get mad at the baby for crying at night! Let Thor sleep in the bed like he always has! Remember this is your house, your life and your bed too! Your bf should not dictate what to do with your baby! someone said you are a package deal! you are! You come with your baby boy! Me & my firefighter broke up, but i"ll tell you something, I am dating a guy now who Id kick to the couch before I wouldn't let my dogs sleep in my bed! even when I sleep at his house my dogs sleep in his bed! I wouldn't sleep there if they couldn't. You gotta stand up for your boys rights to be with you! That is all he wants! also... your baby was with you through your last break up and helped you through it! how could you turn your back on him just bc you are happy now with a new guy? He is how he is bc you made him that way! Needy and dependant! My boys are like that too! I made them that way! I needed them when I got them and gave them sooooo much attention, now they are very clingy to me! but I did it! I know Yorkies are a lot of work and need TONS of attention, but they are that way and you had no problem with thor before and now you do bc your bf does! hhhmmmm sounds unfair to me! Be AWARE - guys like this WILL be like this if you have a child with them!!! GOOD LUCK! | |

| wow......... he used to be crate trained and you started letting him in the bed, now you want to go back to the crate. he used to have two dogs to play with, now he has none. he's used to live with x-bf, then with parents, now somewhere else. give the poor fella a break! I say he needs some stability and some reassurance from new bf that he is loved. you can't let someone new come in and change everything. It's not fair to you or the dog. everything that he was used to is GONE.
