Mine all sleep in bed with us.

I've been dog sitting a little 6-month old female Yorkie, Sophie, who had, notice the word 'had,' in a crate. She had a fit when she saw all of mine with me. I've had her nearly 3 wks. and, of course, she is sleeping with us.

What her parents are going to think.....I don't know. Yorkies love to sleep with their humans, sooooo.........

Thank you all for your suggestions, as I had no idea of what to do. I don't have a crate and I dont think that my husband would approve of it being in our bed. lol He's still getting used to having a small dog in the house, and constantly asks "where is he" before he starts walking around.

what I did was put his bed on my thighs and let him crawl to my neck, where he prefers until he fell asleep. Then I put the bed on the floor next to me, and he continued to sleep. I did have to pick him up a few times but so much better than last night, he only cried twice. As for the potty patch, he pees on it but he wont poopm on it, he keeps going on the floor. We're still working on that.

You have to learn the 'Yorkie Shuffle'. It's how you walk without raising your feet too far off the floor, so you don't step on him!
