wandering yorkie Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone else's yorkie gets up to wander at night? I usually keep Rio in a soft travel case at the foot of our bed (on our bed) when we go to bed at night. She seems to like it in there. I'd like her to sleep all night in bed with us but I don't want her to wander, as she is still a puppy. At least I think she is. She'll be 2 in August. If she goes to the bathroom on her puppy pad, she'll come back and go under the bed to sleep & won't come out until she wants to. Any ideas on how to get her to not wander & also not to sleep under the bed?:aimeeyork |
Hi, my puppy sleeps in a crate in our bedroom with the door shut at night. I worry about her wondering and getting hurt while I'm asleep. If she wakes up and makes a wimpering sound I know she needs to go out but she usually doesn't wake up until about 5:30 am. |
All 3 of ours sleep in bed with us. And wandering is a problem. They wander from my side of the bed to DH's side, from the foot of the bed to the our pillows, under the covers, on top of the covers, on my head!, under my arm... :D But they don't leave the bed. Although sometimes I think it would be nice if they had their own bed to sleep in, I'd miss them terribly if they did. |
You could put a gate across your bedroom door to keep her from leaving the bedroom. I keep a gate across the hallway outside of my bedroom, however, Buddy never leaves me until I get up. He will jump off the bed once during the night to stretch, just started this but right back up on the bed in a minute. Just enough to wake me up. When a 16lb dog jumps on the bed you know it:( |
All of my babies sleep in their crates at night:aimeeyork. They wake me up at 8am every morning. I would love for them to sleep with me, but they are so small and delicate I would be afraid me or the hubby would roll over on them and hurt them. Also, our bed is pretty tall. I don't let them jump down. I'm afraid they'd break their little legs! ;) |
Our Jack sleeps with us and I would like Rio to also. I also would like to be able to get the travel case off of the bed.:) We have a huge house & her puppy pads are in the sunroom by the door downstairs so she will run all the way down to go to the bathroom.....thank goodness...that's a good thing. I can't gate or close the door because if she has to go, she'll go on the carpet. I've tried putting a pad in our bathroom in the bedroom but she wants to run downstairs! She is my first yorkie....she certainly has a mind of her own but we love her bunches!:hearts6: |
Dogs only take naps off and on all night, and between naps they get restless. This is the reason we keep all three girls in the kitchen & breakfast room with the bed, pee-pads, water, toys & chews. There they are comfortable and happy. ;) |
Maximus falls asleep with us. Then you hear him eating in the kitchen, playing in the living room (the sqeaky toys are bad at 3 am), and then he's nice enough to jump on me on his way back into bed. He paws me if I'm in his way and wiggles his way under the covers right in between my husband and me. :rolleyes: |
Pasquale sleeps with us and he usually does get up once a night to use his pee pee pad in the bathroom. On his way back...he'll pop into the walk in closet to see if I by chance dropped a sock he can play with LoL Then he'll pop back up to bed with us ...of course taking the LONGGGG way up my body and sit on top of the pillows until we lift the covers up for him to crawl back under. One way you could stop your little one from going under your bed is to put thin storage crates under there. Thats what i have under my bed. It will block your little one from going under there AND you can store some things.:thumbup: |
1 Attachment(s) Wow - I guess that I'm lucky! Missy has slept with me since she was around 9 weeks old and she's always slept the whole night through, flat on her back with all 4 paws in the air :D |

She doesn't wander unless I put her in her room in her own bed...when she gets up to use the puddle pad, she then comes to the door and cries to come to bed with us. I'm getting used to the idea of having a very, very spoiled little Yorkie! |
Pao sleeps on and off during the night I think. I am a heavy sleeper so I don't really know lol but I do know he leaves the bed sometimes. I gate the stairs so he has a free roam the whole of upstairs at night and I leave his peepad in the bathroom upstairs so he is free to go pee when he wants to. I think he sometimes sleeps in our bed and then will move to his own bed right by my bed and sometimes he go lay down right by the babygate so that he can look downstairs. He is reliable, doesn't chew cords etc so I don't worry what he does at night. He can do whatever he wants to lol. |
