He does have a bed in his crate- but he sleeps in a big papasan chair I have. It's in the living room and that's why I've been sleeping down there on the couch til he adjusts.
I can bring the chair to my room but I'm also worried about getting him used to sleeping in my room because he's 7 and I'm worried the stairs will only get harder for him....
Last night we went to bed at 11. He went out a few times before bed, we played and ran around for a while, he doesn't get water after dinner at 830. So he should of been good to sleep all night. He grumbled/ barked to go out at 1am and then again at 3 am. Both times I told him NO and "Kennel" and he went in there and after what seemed like a 15 minute debate with my dog he went back to sleep. I'm hoping after a few more nights of that he'll figure out that barking at night gets him no where.
