Does your yorkie sleep through the night? - Page 4 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Mom of 3 · 06-25-2009, 08:41 PM

I have 4 yorkies, and an old dachshund. All sleep with me. They range in age from 1yr. 5mths to almost 11 years. I put a potty pad in the bathroom just in case one of them needs it in the night. They use it, and come back to bed. Sometimes it's dry in the morning, so I guess none of them had to get up. I am not an early riser, but they stay with me(especially now that school is out) Most of the time Jackie will take one to bed with her, and she never puts a potty pad down in her room. When mine were first brought home, I got a used play pen, put it beside my bed with newspapers on one end and their little bed on the other end. What little angels they are.

Cooper used to sleep through the night. He was sleeping through the night at just a few months old. Then he realized that his kennel was right next to my bed and all he would have to do is yip. This led to him yipping several times a night and he would NEVER go potty when I took him all the way downstairs to his pad. I was sleep deprived.

Now he sleeps downstairs and I am a much nicer person during the day!

Both Zack and Zeke will sleep through the night, unless I am coming home from an evening shift at 1130 PM. I get warmly greeted then they go out for a short walk then back to sleep. I know they are out for the night when I am either working Days or Mid shifts.

Mine is a year old and she's slept through the night since about 6 months. She's quite large for a Yorkie though, so that might have something to do with it. (Around 13 lbs)

My Aunt Bea

will sleep for 8 to 10 hours, most nights. She goes to bed when we do and gets up when we do. Extremely rare for her to get up during the night.

Shelby Jewell · 03-31-2011, 08:51 AM

Shelby is 9 months 2lbs 14oz and is up at midnight 3:00 or so and 5:00 or so! She is crate trained and the crate is next to my side of the bed. Her food is taken away at 7:30 and goes out at 9:30 or 10:00 before we go to bed. Is it because she is so small or just habit? Will she out grow it? I would love to have her in bed with us but our bed is one of those that is waist high off the floor so i'm afraid she'll jump or fall off and get hurt.....

CouversMom · 03-31-2011, 05:11 PM

Mine usually sleep through the night unless they have an upset stomach or drink too much water right before bed. If this happens, they walk on us until one of us gets up to let them out. This only happens about once every couple of weeks.

Louie always sleeps through the night. He goes to bed when we do usually 11:30, and stays asleep til we get up!! Such a good boy!

JasmineNoelle · 04-01-2011, 11:29 AM

Both the girls sleep through the night.

Storm Alexander · 04-01-2011, 04:12 PM

Storm will get up to eat, play and potty. I free feed him because he really does not eat during the day even if I leave the food out. Oh yeah he will get up if I get up at night as well and follow me so I guess he takes after his owner who doesn't sleep through the night either.

maddieadoptedme · 04-09-2011, 11:55 AM

i usually get up 1-2 hours b4 Maddie gets off the bed---she needs her 8 hours i guess, lol

Chloe and Armani both get up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night- but they take themselves to the pad in the bathroom and then come back to bed all on their own, so they don't disturb my sleep

That is how Riley is. He will be 1-year old, next month.....and graduated from his x-pen to the bottom of my bed for about a month and a half or so, now. Before that he would whine and I would have to lean over and let him out of his x-pen to go use the pad and then would have to lock him back in. Much better sleep, for me, for sure!!
