Weaning off the crate
I have a dog who will turn 1 on the 19th. DH and I would like to wean Yogi off his crate. It is huge and we have a small house. Yogi likes his crate, but would much rather sleep on his bed instead. The only time he is in his crate is when we put him in there to sleep at night. We would like for him to sleep on is bed instead, but he jumps in our bed instead! How do I get him to sleep on his bed so that we can get rid of the crate?

Re: Weaning off the crate
I would put his bed where you usually keep the crate and when he tries to come into bed with you, tell him to go to his bed. Also when he lays on his bed, praise him and in the morning I would give him a small milkbone or something, just so he gets the hint that staying on his bed is good.
Good Luck!!
