My 7 month old, miniature Dachshund is great at taking herself to bed on her own terms. If she's tired she'll head off to her crate and sleep away. I can then shut the door and leave the room and she'll nap for about an hour. At night she sleeps from 11pm – 9am in her crate and has done since 8 weeks old. She sees the crate as her bed.
However, during the day she's vehemently against being put in her crate for an enforced nap. It's 50/50 on when she starts an enforced nap if she'll protest against me leaving the room or not. We have her on a routine of naps that she seems to follow only if she takes herself to her crate though. Any advice for my partly but not really crate trained dachshund?
