Burtie - Update

[Halfpass]

I managed to sleep all night

I have secured my kitchen / half built dining area with baby gates etc and have left Burtie the puppy and my other dog Benji to have to run of that.

I encouraged them to use it yesterday and left the back door open and they settled there really well.

I have the cage in there too but open and both dogs last night settled and slept most of the night. Burtie used the paper to pee on once and asked to be let at at 5 this morning so all good.

No yelping and whining or barking at all until I shut him in the cage to have his breakfast and all hell broke loose again

.

The cage works when it is open as Burtie can get in there when the games get too much for him and Benji the older dog just can't fit so he is well out of the way.

I am so pleased that I have found a solution that seem to be working (fingers crossed) plus I feel much more human today after a good nights sleep!!!!

Thanks guys for all of your suggestion or advice its very much appreciated I am so loving the doggy forum

It's a pretty good forum and so far has escaped the trolls and nastiness the others have suffered from so all is good! Glad to hear pup is doing OK and you are having FUN with him. That's what it's all about.

It sure is!!!!
I felt like I had postnatal depression the last couple of days, just felt like I was doing everything wrong and was going to end up with a delinquant (??sp) puppy. Looks like we are turning a corner though.

Everything looks so much better after a bit of sleep!

I'm so glad the little blot is behaving himself better

Sounds like you have found the solution! Everything is always better after a decent nights kip!!
