Dog Sleep Training: update 1

07 November 2013

So far so good…. but thank goodness we have a door on our room.

The past two nights our dogs have fallen asleep on the sofa and so Ben and I have just snuck into our room without them.  The first night wasn’t all that bad. Mabel did jump at the door a bit, and every couple hours I would hear ratchet crying outside the door and stomping his feet.  Ashley said he somehow got in her room, but she brought him back out to the sofa (we all need to be on the same page here!)  They slept in the family room all night and only made it into our bedroom at around 6:00 when Ben woke up and went to the hall bathroom and forgot to close the bedroom door.  I was OK with that and considered it a good night! And plus I love snuggling with the dogsJ

Last night was a little rough.  I don’t even know how often it was but Mabel and Ratchet scratched and jumped at the door all night long.  Mabel is also a good/strong jumper so she was trying with all her might to turn the door knob, so that was rattling. But we were strong and didn’t open the door.  I just let them keep at it.  This morning when I opened the bedroom door they both literally fell into our room, they were sleeping on top of each other up against the door.  And then they immediately jumped in bed.

I think we’re getting there!  I can say though that I slept wonderfully last night. Well with the exception of hearing the door scratching/banging/rattling all night long!
