jasper was a SCREAMER, (and cresties yodle so it seriously sounded like a baby was being murdered every night)
i came on here for the same advice and reassurance...
ignoring him wasnt working...
so what i did was move his crate RIGHT next to the bed, when he squeeked id tell him no sleepy time and put my hand down so he could touch my fingers and see/smell me.
I also put a fleece blanket in with him that id slept with the night before (had 3 so i could alternate them), no joke, that first night was like a dream, he squeeked once, i told him sleepy time, offered him my fingers and scilence...
2nd night nothing, not a squeek, by the end of that week, i didnt have to reassure him at all in the night, so the next week i moved the crate a few inches from the bed...continued as normal...no crying, no nothing...i kept moving the crate away a little at a time, ok so it was a little time consuming getting his crate to the point i could have +
it anywhere in the bedroom and him not worry or freek out, BUT i slept, he slept IN his crate without a problem...
and now i can take his crate anywhere and hell sleep in it no problems.
i cant leave him alone in his crate during the day, he still screams...our first day in the new place...
i crated him and ruby because we were moving stuff and jasper has decided hes a door buster...
and the cops show up...one of our neighbors actually called the cops for a domestic disturbance...
were not clear if it actually was because jasper was screaming like a banshee, or if theyd got the adress wrong (cause hes only 5lbs, hes not loud enough for someone on the other end of the street to complain about...) but it seriosuly sounds creepy lol.
but at night...he goes in his crate, i cover him up and out like a light without any problems...
i was about 1 more night from just giving up and letting him sleep in the bed before moving his crate and it made a huge difference.
