Hi, Michelle, Thank you for another great video! One question I have is with regard to the calming and relaxation that having my 14-week-old [Yorkie] puppy snuggled up and sleeping on my lap. Often, after playing for about 15-20 minutes, we settle down to rest. I will often put him in his playpen after the laptime, and am planning on starting the crate napping and sleeping this week. He loves going into his small travel crate but we haven't done the full-size crate yet.
Yes it would be a good idea to start eliminating the lap napping. You don't want your Yorkie dependent on that step in order to take a snooze. You can implement a cool down routine that helps him know when it's time to snooze. When he's a little older and crate training is firmly established you can offer more naps out of the crate. But he's learning some habits now and you want to make sure they are sustainable!
@HowToTrainADreamDog Thank you very much for the information and for the extremely quick reply. I really appreciate it, and look forward to viewing more of your videos.
Naps are improving but i still stay beside the crate until he’s asleep. Tomorrow i want to try walking away before he’s fully asleep but b in afraid he’ll bark or cry and I’ll have to start over. It’s hard to tell if I’m moving too fast.
Are you playing the games from our training program? They will guide you on how to do this in a way that works for your puppy. Check it out here! www.howtotrainadreamdog.com/30-days-to-puppy-perfection
Have you watched our video about the playpen? It poses some additional challenges because the puppy is awake, but you can still teach her to be calm and quiet when she's in it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1W4MOolQBYc.htmlsi=VI0iYHxqWhsJ2JxT
