Hello folks, I need your advice again. Jasper is 12 months. He sleeps in his crate at the end of our bed, he likes it and goes in willingly and is quiet all night. Now that he's older I would like to get rid of the crate and just have him sleep on a dog bed at the end of our bed. How best to make the transition?
We made a tentative start by just not locking the crate door but after less than an hour he was out wandering the room, scratching around.
Should we continue doing this and just keep getting up to put him back in the crate until he gets it or just go cold turkey and remove the crate altogether? I also wondered about tethering him with collar and leash to the bed post until he gets the idea - would that work?
