Hi all! My husband introduced himself and our foster-pup Lola a few days ago but I wanted to jump in and ask everyone about their experiences sleep training.
Since the majority of Lola's life (all 18 weeks of it) was spent in a small crate with her brother at a pet store, her sleep habits are pretty much all over the place. Being an EB she obviously enjoys her naps, but when it comes time to go to bed in her crate she howls and whines like a crazy lady for a couple hours. We've always kept our past dogs in a crate in the dining room where our movements and bedroom TV wouldn't disturb them, but we've also never had such a velcro dog before. It breaks my heart when I hear her whine and cry because I know she just wants to see us and be close to us (important to note she also whines if she's on the couch and we leave the room).
Should we move the crate into the bedroom? Should we leave her as is? Should we have a radio or white noise machine on to sooth her? Just wondering how everyone else handles their clingy pups when it comes time to sleep train!
