Don't know what to do Okay, So crate training at night has been relapsed with Gizmo, however I'm beginning to think he's just one of those dogs that doesn't like his crate. With him being sick though, I really want to be by him just in case. I'm thinking about taking his blanket and just putting it on our bed and having him sleep with us. Is that bad? Am I a quitter for crate training? I'm mean we'll still use it to go out or what not, but I don't know I feel like I failed him but I don't want him to be really sick and I don't hear him from in his crate. |
I gave up with the crate training on the third night....I just couldn't stand to listen to her cry. So in my bed she went & has been there ever since...so 9 weeks now. She sleeps great & so do I. She wakes up once in the night to go pee, then back to sleep she goes all through the night :) Strange thing is, she'll take herself off to her crate (which now just sits in the living room & is only used for car trips) and sleep in there during the day. I made a cover for it out of an old fleece blanket and it's like her little den. |
And you don't roll over her or anything? I know that sounds stupid, but I think that's what I'm afraid of most. |
I'm not an expert by any means. I know how hard it can be to stick it out. I guess do what you feel is best. |

We'll see how it goes. I just gave him Robitissin (SP) DM as prescribed by the vet, so when it comes to coughing he should be okay. Please say some prayers that this works better. |

Hello! I have a Gizmo also!! He hated the crate!! I tried for 4 months and it was starting to cause fights between me and hubby( He would cry for up to an hour at night) so ever since he sleeps with us! He curls up right again my chest/neck and we sleep through the whole night. Gizmo is 3.5 pounds so hes tiny and we have never rolled on top of him :) Good Luck!!!! |
how funny i never realized our signatures are the same! :) |

I hope it works out for you.:D |
It's gotta be the name Gizmo! Hehe! Well, we let him sleep on us and then I tried to put him in the crate and he had nothing to do with it. So, he did end up sleeping with us and he slept through the night. I guess I know what we have to do now. He lays in his monkey blanket, curled up at the end of the bed and didn't make a peep the whole night. Spoiled brat. Thank you all for your help. |
I've never had a crate. Andy does not know what one looks like lol. Reason is though I am retired and home with him all day and night . He sleeps and slept with me after his surgery as well. |
Callie hated her crate but I used it until she was potty trained. I was terrified of rolling onto her and I sometimes can sleep through a lot and I didnt want her to get into something that would hurt her when I was sleeping. She was a crier too very very much so. |
My tiny dog slept at the foot of my bed on his blanket or I would scoot down and he slept above my pillow on his blanket. If you are afraid of rolling over on him you might try a baby basinett right by your bed until he is older. Then if he crys you wont have to make the trip across the room. |
My fur babies never had a crate. Or should I say my little fur babies never had a crate. We do have 2 basset hounds that sleep in their crate every night in the sun room they love it. As far as our little fur babies we have three little fur babies. Two of them sleep in either my bedroom or my room mates bedroom on the bed of course. The little one sleeps in a x pen in my room because he has a habit of chasing my cats in the middle of the night. He is perfectly happy as long as his pen is near my bed. Zach our Yorkie used to climb out of the x pen every day so we gave up on using it on him. Zoe our shorkie cried so hard and so loud we were afraid we were going to get arrested for animal abuse. Now Oliver is our baby shih tzu and so far he's been so good about sleeping in his pen that we never thought of stopping him from using it. |
