karen135 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 ok so we have seen some great improvements in daisy but if i have to get up in the night to one of the kids (she sleeps in laundry with our older dog by there rooms) i tend to let them out quickly they come in and go back to bed she has a winge i go back to bed and ignore her but at 5am she can cry to go out and thats it she wont go back to bed and cries and cries louder and louder what can i do as if i leave it to long she wakes both kids up but would love her to let me go back to bed. also other question was thinking of putting her in there for awhile during the day on her own she is fine if our other dog is in there but want them to get a break from each other this would be a good oppertunity in getting ignored when crying or would this be a wrong move. any advice greatfull karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel the Weasel Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Can you get a doggy door put in so then she can come in and out as she pleases without having to disturb you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sas Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 why would you want to put the dog in there during the day? You're going to end up with an unbalanced troubled dog if you just leave them in the laundary. Have you heard of a crate or use your backyard.

kazzakanary Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Hi Karen We had the same problem with our pup Piper, and we just let her sleep in the main room with us - if she wakes up early (luckily she does not do this every day) I take her outside for toilet and then close all bedroom doors so she can't wake up the kids and she has run of the house on all tiled areas - we shut off the lounge/dining area! This has seemed to work so far - I only have the one dog though so can't help with the other dog part!! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SALTWOOD Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 There's probably I reason but was wondering why you can't just leave her outside at 5am until you get up??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazzakanary Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Well with Piper she cries at the back door to come back in - this wakes up the kids anyway and I can't sleep through the crying!! she was good inside this morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sas Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 If you're letting the dog in when it cries you've just given into the dog an taught the dog when it does that you come and let it in. Can the dog not sleep in the house? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
