How do you train a puppy to sleep in a dog bed?
February 9th, 2010 | 
Author: I have a 13 week old puppy and she sleeps in her crate now but she only likes it if she is like beyond tired otherwise she just wines and barks.
So I would like to train her how to sleep in a doggy bed and sleep through the night without getting up and staying there when I tell her to go there?
Can anyone help?
HI Kay,
Try this.
If you are consistently using the crate, get a small dog bed and put it inside of the crate. Soon her dog smell will penetrate into the cushion and she will know it is her bed, then you can take the bed out when she is out. You must do this regularly or your puppy will become confused. Also, you might try putting a couple of small dry treats in to the bed for her. You want her to associate the bed with pleasant things.
PSS: I just thought of something… if you cannot afford one… see about going to a book store like Barnes&Noble and look into the puppy section books. Read about training a dog to sleep in his bed. The authors of these books are really experts and can give you expert advice as well.

Unless you are prepared to stay up all night then there is no way… if you aren’t awake to correct when she does wake up then you cannot do it.
I have article on housebreaking .. for crate trainingyou may have to do google or click on some of the crate training links on this site or in the answers search etc.
