Where is your dog at night? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

mugwee1 · 05-09-2012, 03:23 PM

My dog's sleep in their kennel at nite. by 7.30 or8.00 I say bed time and they go and get in by them selves. My bed is really high and i'm scared they will jump and hurt their selves. I have step's but they don't seem to use them. as long as they are safe is what matter's to me. If I go to the couch during the nite then they come and lay on me. aren't yorkies and chihuahuas amazing?

Our girls sleep with DH and I. I agree with everyone who said they wouldn't have it any other way.

I would miss the warm little body next to me.

Ahi started off sleeping in a crate next to my bed just so I could make sure she didn't have any accidents. It lasted a week. She then moved to her Cloud 9 bed that is leveled with mine.(I have a futon bed on a low platform) So she starts off sleeping with her skin sister, up to her bed, on my pillow, behind or in front my knees and half on her bed/half on mine.

Come to think of it she moves around a lot...depends if she gets hot or cold. LOL She also just jumps off the bed and goes to her pad in the bathroom if she has to pee in the middle of the night...rarely though.

Tatiana sleeps in her bed that's in a exercise pen by my bedside. The exercise pen is open on top. Within the exercise pen, there is also a potty tray (which she occasionally uses in the middle of the night, or early morning), and a bowl of water. Tatiana take herself to bed (in the exercise pen) every night. When I go to bed, I simply close the gate. When I get up in the morning, I open the gate (oftentimes, she's still sleeping).

Like other yorkies here, Tatiana is a good sleeper. She takes herself to bed around 8p, and she gets up around 8a the next morning. This little girl sleeps for 12 hours! She's healthy per her vet. She has no medical issues. She's just a good sleeper.

Tried crating Gizmo, but after a month of only 2 hour max nights sleep (this was during my wedding as well) I finally caved, pulled him into bed with us, he fell asleep there and has been at the foot of out bed ever since.

Hailey sleeps in a pen that's just big enough for a bed on one side and a pee pad on the other for accidents. the pen is right next to my bed.

when she is trained a little better she will most likely be sleeping with me in bed. probably a few more months.

Maggie sleeps in her bed. I was afraid of rolling over and suffocating her. She sleeps in her crate and if she gets up early for some reason she will join me/us up in the bed. Sometimes when I watch TV up in bed she will come snuggle then too. She seems to like her crate as I often open it aaround 10:30 am and she just looks at me. Here is a pic of her in her crate. Also, I have baby monitor that I turn on when something wakes me (like hubby getting up early) and I can listen in case she gets woken up and has to pee. One good thing about the crate (2 things!) is that it is her safe spot. She goes there when she gets overwhelmed like when we were getting wood floors installed and the saw scared her. Also, if we ever are not home at night she knows that is where she sleeps and I think it would be easier to get her to bed than if she slept in our bed and then one night we weren't there.

Gracie sleeps in my bed. She has been pee pad broken since she was very young. She has steps to get down off the bed if she needs to go and then she comes back up and cuddles back to sleep.

You may need to set up a feeding schedule for your dog. Make sure you take him for a walk long before bed time so he gets himself emptied out. It sounds like he is not properly trained yet. Feed him around supper time and no more after that. Just make sure he get plenty of exercise before bedtime so he won't need to have to go again until morning. A puppy that is 6 months or older will not soil their sleeping area unless they have no other choice. He needs to be taken out.

biapaiva · 05-09-2012, 10:48 PM

In bed with me! U out her pee pad in the room or to in the hall.

barkingyorkie · 05-10-2012, 01:11 PM

Mom of 3 · 05-10-2012, 01:23 PM

The girls (Rosie and Gracie) sleep with me, wherever that may be. If I fall asleep on the couch, they are with me. The bed, right next to me. I also have a large comforter on the floor and Rocky likes it there.
