More on Poppy & Her Crate Training !!!

[lolnmandz]

Thank you all so much for your advice. I will be trying your suggestions tonight when I get home from work (Poppy is at home with my partner at present driving her mad!!)

I am worrying that we are confusing her;
*sleeping in her bed in our bedroom at night
*bringing her bed downstairs during day and putting in living room when we are there
*then putting it in crate when we go out

Are we best to:
*leave her bed upstairs and put other bedding in crate and nothing in living room
*put crate in living room with bed in it and leave it there and make her sleep there at night
*leave crate where it is in kitchen/diner put her bed in it and thats where she goes.

I am so sorry to keep putting long postings on but I want to do the best for Poppy, she only wants to do whats right and I think she's confused!!!!

Thank you all so much for your help up to now, I just wanted to say what a fantastic site this is, you are all so friendly and helpful and all have beautiful dogs. I think I'm the only British person who uses this site, most of you seem to be from USA, Canada & Australia, not noticed any other Brits yet, but I will be recommending the site to all my friends with dogs. Hoping to post a photo of Poppy in next few days too!!

I have responded in your other thread but wanted to add we do have a few brits. I believe BABYELEPHANT, LOU3 are from there. Those are just off the top of my head without morning coffee.

So invite all your friends... the more the merrier.
