We've only had Embree for 5 days and she is already ok with sleeping in her crate. The first two days/nights were pretty hard. Every time we would put her in there, she would whine, bark, howl, etc. After reading several articles online and talking to people we knew, they all said the same thing....leave her in there! I'll admit the first two nights I thought "How are we going to deal with this? Our neighbors are going to hate us!" She eventually got used to being in there alone (I also started giving her a treat to calm her down) and last night, she just moseyed on in when she was ready for bed. She only woke up once last night to go potty and didn't give me any trouble when I put her back in to go to sleep. Hopefully she will continue to do well. Today is the first day she will be left completely alone while Matthew and I are at work.
xoxo,
Megs
