Oh, I'm so sorry you had a rubbish night again - it's difficult to focus and function when you feel like a zombie?!

You truly, truly have to stick this out. Just the same as with human babies, you reach a point - you know your baby can do it - and it's not a battle of wills yet, but that's what it will become if you don't stick with it now.

I don't know what everybody else thinks - but how about putting the crate (shut) up onto your bed with you and don't give in!!!

Your fiance will have to sleep elsewhere for the couple of nights it will take to re-establish the routine - if he moans about it - tell him he created this new monster!! Sorry, I don't mean to sound really harsh

Good luck again tonight! Sally + Harry x

HI EVERYONE!!!

so yesterday i got off early from work, and made it a point to spend more time getting lola outside, running and nice and tired. we played, ran, practiced her "come" command. she was having a ball!

at night i was so tired, took her out again, she went outside. then we layed on couch to watch tv. she and i both fell asleep. she got up once and barked and i took her outside and she went #2. her barkign was telling me she had to go. came back inside, layed back on couch with her, fell asleep again. she jumped off the couch 2 times in the night and guess what, went right ot her pad, did pee pee and came back to me, then back to sleep. Not one bark, nothing.

now, do i think sleeping on the couch wit hher is good for my relationship, no way. do i realize that she is much better at goign on her pad in teh middle of the night, yes. so i am considering bringing her upstairs in her crate tonight and seeing what she does. i am going to invest in stairs to put by the bed, bc she is learning to get up and go pee then come back to sleep.

i also need to tire her out as well before bed. i just feel bad bc she truly loves to sleep with her mom, she is happy and calm and doesnt bark at all. so confused
