Trying to get dog out of the bedroom
Hi All -
Got a 5-year old Pug who's been pretty good with staying out of the bedroom when told to do so (at least for the last 3 places we lived at). He's been sleeping in our bed for <cough> most of his life, so it's a long habit, but when told to stay in his dog bed in the kitchen, he was fine.
Now we moved again at the beginning of the year and all of a sudden he's got issues with staying out of the bedroom. Being a spoilt little rascal, he will whine and whine. And. Whine. We tried to ignore it, but after 2 hours of continuous whining and our need for at least *some* sleep, we gave in.
I hate to ask this, but is it too late to train him away from the bedroom and if (hopefully) not, how can this be done? Put him in his crate and in a room as far away as possible from our bedroom so we don't hear the whining/barking? (The garage seems very attractive, all of a sudden)
Thanks!
