I hate to tell you, but what you did last night will make it even tougher for you to train them to sleep without you. You basically trained them that they have to cry a minimum of 30 minutes before you will get them. Before you try it again are you absolutely sure there isn't anything you could do to have them continue sleeping with you, while still allowing you to get the sleep you need. For example, have you thought of something like this? 5. Side Dog Bed - 7 Unique Items of Home Decor for Pets ... ? Lifestyle

If there is no way you can have them in your room, you will have to probably hear them whining most of the night until they get use to their new bed. Walking them and making them more tired than usual might help.

I came to this thread last night to show my husband the pic that you kindly posted in order that I may request one of these darling contraptions for Teddy.


Well, once he saw your avatar, that was it! Instead of taking seriously my request for this bed, he went internet surfing (and laughing like a lunatic the whole time) to find a spider costume! Men!

Ha, ha, so sorry, I made that costume several years ago for the YT Halloween Contest. It's just a spider prop Velcroed to a hoodie. I have seen some ready made costume in the last couple of years though. You and your hubby might like this video of my little spider dog. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/my-...ll-spider.html

That video is amazing!

Thanks for sharing for me!


I definitely will show the hubby but I think I'll put our couches in plastic wrap first in case he urinates himself from laughter.


He came close to that last night with the avatar lol

You will have to stick to your guns and put up with probably several weeks of crying and barking. They are old dogs so you will not be able to retrain them in a day or two. Unfortunately for you they will probably snooze a lot during the day and when you are dog tired at night they will be rested and ready to bark, LOL you might want to try to keep them extra busy during the day so they are tired at night. I also wonder if a crate would be better than them having room to roam in your kitchen

Yah this ^^

I can't imagine all the sudden having Jackson not be allowed on my bed. He's 6 now and has his whole life. He would throw a giant fit. But it's not a problem for us, I actually get offended when he decides to sleep on the floor
