Re: Sleeping At Night - Advice Needed!!
People like crate training their pups for that very reason. The crate becomes a safe secure "den" which can be gradually moved out of the bedroom and eventually downstairs.
A good crate has benefits for travelling to, may prevent car sickness for example. See DSD Article - Home Alone - suggests crate & chew toys for other reasons to prefer them.

So if dog sits 6/10 times it doesn't sit 4/10 times, encouraging with the right rewards (positively-reinforcing) enough for 9/10 times means it now fails to sit only 1/10 times, sit 10/10 means...

Re: Sleeping At Night - Advice Needed!!
If there werent really any problems with the pup sleeping in their own bed - why have you let them sleep in your bed since?
If you truly want the pup to sleep in a dog bed or a crate, then I wouldn't allow them to share the bed as you're confusing them as to where they're meant to sleep. |

Indeed… It’s best to keep them on their “den” for them to realize their bed and their master’s lair. Try to keep the dog’s bed at a distance. If you’re quite worried about your dog crying all night, you can keep the distance near from the start, and gradually increase it as time pass by.

Re: Sleeping At Night - Advice Needed!!
When we had our first pup we bought him a 'Heatbeat Pillow' by Petstages and every time they lie on it it beats to simulate still being with their litter mates/ mum.....my pup loved it and He never cried at night !!
You can get them off EBay. I have just bought another one for my new pup!![]() |
