We're bringing home Bitsy Sunday night and i want her to sleep in the bed with us (I think it'll be less traumatic for her since she is leaving her mommy and siblings for first time). Anyone else do this instead of crate training? Any advice, stories, etc?[/B]
Both Sammy Maree and Max sleep in bed with me. I bought a sofl crate and had it at the foot of my bed and Max slept in that until he could hold his bladder through the night.
To get him used to my bed, I put him in his crate and when he woke to go out to the toilet, I would take him out, then when we came in he was allowed to sleep just on the bed (no crate), once he stopped waking for toilet trips, he just slept on the bed.
I luv waking up to my two beautiful babies every morning.
