First Successful Night in New Crate!!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I'm so excited

Chewie hated his travel carrier that we were using for some reason...he howled forever in it... so I broke down and got a 24" wire crate last night. He went in at 1am and didn't make a peep until 6:15am when my hubby woke up for work! And as soon as I took him out, he pooped and peed! So now I know that he's going to do well in it, I'm even more confident that outside potty training will go well too. I seriously should've bought one of these sooner.

That's so wonderful. I'll be bringing Bella home next week. I have a wire crate now, but was trying to decide rather to use it or get a travel type crate. Glad this is working out for you!!! Makes sleeping sooo much easier...lol

You aren't kidding! I'm a flip-flopper until I get comfortable enough to fall asleep and Chewie anchors his butt either to my feet, in the bends of my knees or up by my head and I just couldn't stand it anymore. I know he means well because he just wants to snuzzle, but I can barely sleep with my hubby sawing logs next to me, LOL! Last night was excellent!

I have to ask...how old is your yorkie? Bella is 14 weeks tomorrow and sleeps with me. I tried the playpen route, but she climbed out repeatedly so that was a wash.

Thanks and congrats on your first night of sleep
