Here is another help question. I have a 7 month old male Cocker spaniel (along with Snuggles who is 13 and the one I asked about with CHF and Tigger a English cocker who is 7). I am crate training. I leave in the morning about 7 and home at 12:15 for lunch. Leave again about 30 minutes later and home at 5:00. He stays out for about 2 hrs then I lock him back up so I can put my birds in the bedroom and take a shower. Then he is out till I got to bed about 10:30-11:00. Call me silly, but I have a king size bed and his bed crate is next to me on the bed. Been like that since I got him at 8 weeks. The other 2 sleep on the bed also. In the past 2 weeks he has started whinning about 3:00am. I carry him out and right back to the crate. Then it starts again about 4:30. He doesn't need to potty. So what do I do there? The crate is not a big on like the other one. The main crate will fit a German Shepard. The sleep one fits him so so. He isn't cramped. How can I break him of this?
