6 month old Shih Tzu that we got about 3 weeks ago. When we first got home he slept in crate all night in our room no problems. Eventually when I realized he was sleeping though night and becoming pretty reliable for pottying I let him sleep in our bed. (Personal preference. Lost our 15 year old dog in August and that was his happy place.) He still is in crate while we are at work and he does not cry at all when he realizes we are all leaving. Sleeps happily all day, even when our son comes home in the middle of the day he is happy just staying in there if he needs to.
However. Putting him in there when we are all home and we just need him to be put away for a while is a different ball game! Pretty upset and yappy. He spends every chance he can curled up on the couch with us so I can imagine why!
So I guess my question is, is this normal, this is probably not considered crate trained. Do you think it’s because I let him into our bed? Or is it just bc he loves us lol.
