Sleeping in the bed, help please - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Gracie sleeps with me to but my king size bed was waaaay too high for her to get down to her pee pad at night. Unless she wakes me up with her crying she would have accidents on my bed. I finally started putting on the floor in my bedroom with her pee pad and was fine for awhile. Now, she likes to bark literally ALL NIGHT to get on the bed with me so I recently tried putting her in the guest room..."out of sight out of mind" she doesnt bark, she sleeps long in the mornings and she also doesnt have accidents in my bed

I would suggest either a crate or just putting her in a safe room where she can't hurt herself and put a pee pad down...sleeping with your dog is going to be a life long thing...if your not prepared for that then I would break the habit now

If she pees on the bed she may also pee in the crate. Mine would go in the crate if he couldn't hold it. I gave up on the crate thing. It just wasn't us. He cried for 2 weeks straight and then I just decided to put him in the bed. He's a happy camper now. Did you clean the area with Nature's Miracle?...because if you didn't she may have smelled where she previously went and it set her off again. I don't just squirt this stufff on....I literally saturate the area and let it dry. I don't wipe it up. He's never gone in the same place twice.

Good luck!

Maybe you can get those little stairs to put beside of the bed and put a pee pee pad at the foot of it. I saw on another post that Target sells them at a reasonable price. Our dogs can get off the bed but they can't jump onto it. I have two yorkies and I cannot imagine them not sleeping in our bed! My husband and I look forward to cuddling with them at night, LOL! Every once in a while one will get off the bed and one of us will get up and go get them or we'll stay awake until they come back to the bed for us to pick them up and put them back on. We are so used to them being there, we miss them when they are not! They are great bed buddies

I understand the crate thing has to be used sometimes, but I've never had the heart to crate mine, but I've heard that some dogs like it. I'm a stay at home mommy so luckily I haven't had to do that. JMO
