Hello all. Thanks in advance for any help or advice we are able to get We have a gorgeous puppy lab (9 weeks old) We have had her for just over a week so far. She is taking to the home well and understands outside as her toilet business. We are having a hard time getting her to sleep in her crate inside the house at night time. If we do get her to sleep (which is usually on her bed in the lounge room) we pick her up and pop her in the crate. Sometimes we are lucky to get an hour or so sleep in before she cries and wakes us up. We do take her outside and most times she does go to the toilet. Our sleep is very broken and wondering what others may have done to help this. If its natural and something she grows out of, we accept this Otherwise we love her loads, she is adorable!
Hi Mark have you seen this page? http://www.thelabradorsite.com/night-waking-how-to-restore-the-peace/ Some fantastic information to start off with
Oh my gosh thanks so much for that info! This kind of info has been hard for me to find. We will try a few of these things and see how we go. We are both needing a much deserved nights sleep and we know hard work and persistance should pay off!
That's it Mark, a bit of hard work and consistency now will give you lots of rewards in return later on
