i have a dog, who just turned one. so obviously, shes still very much like a puppy. so, ive been working hard lately at school, and have been very tired. so, ive been going to bed at like 9:30. my dogs cage is in my room. [she gets scared sleeping in a room with no one in it.] so anyways, usually its fine, she goes in her cage and everytihng. well, my dad or whoever forgot to put her in her cage, so, my dog comes up on my bed, since i was really tired, i was just like whatever. and let her sleep there. i let her do that for a couple of days. well, i went to put her back in her cage, and she kept crying and crying, till id take her out, and let her sleep with me. [she litterally woke me up 4 times at night.] how do i fix this?
teardrops7 answered Saturday February 2 2008, 9:45 am: Just put her in the cage and let her cry. She thinks that she will be babied. It is better to teach her at a young age that crying will not help her get out. And for every night that she sits in there without crying love on her and give her a treat so she knows she did good. And if she begins to cry then just ignore her. Dont say anything to her, because if you do that is just giving her attention which she enjoys.
masterclinic answered Friday February 1 2008, 9:53 pm: Your just going to have to last most likley just a day with it crying in the cage. After that it will realize that its not going to be sleeping on your bed anymore. I had a similar problem but it was with food my dogs started liking normal food instead of there dog food. We got them back on the dog food but it took about 2 days of them not eating. Good luck [ masterclinic's advice column | Ask masterclinic A Question ]
