Well here we are. She has been crying for 12 minutes but it feels like at least 30. Is it harmful to let her go on this way? I feel like a terrible mommy just going to bed and leaving her but I know she has everything she needs. Anyone have reassurance for me?
aww, youve got to stick at it. when i was at my parents we got a little jack russell and the first night we was planning on keeping her downstairs with her bed, food/water bowl, toilet etc however she just kep crying and crying so guess what we gave up and since then she has always slept in our beds and currently sleeps with my mum in her bed haha.
dont give up if you really dont want her to stay in your bed good luck

Well I just went to check on her at 2 AM and she was asleep in her kennel so I gave her treats (because she woke up when she heard me). And I set her near her kennel and she went right in and lay down. So I gave her a few more treats and walked away. Of course she came to the door of her room and started crying but I walked away. When she lays back down the treats will be there. Hope I am doing this right.
Thanks I think the first night went rather well. I think she quieted back down about 2:30 because her cries got quiet or stopped so I could not hear them. She was crying this morning. But she had pooped and peed several times on the newspaper outside of her litterbox so that is encouraging. This morning I removed most of the wood pellets and moved some of the soiled newspaper into the box with just a bit of litter scattered around. I cleaned the floor with bleach where the newspapers were and put down fresh. Hoping she chooses to go in the litterbox where it smells right Bottom line- she did not sleep in our bed and she did not poop in her kennel. Yay! I also held her belly up til she stopped squirming and looked away this morning and gave her lots of praise. Going to work with her on crate training today.
good luck
