Ziva is almost 10 weeks. We brought her home at 8 weeks and have had no problems with the crate. Her crate is in the corner of our bedroom about 6 feet from us. A friend let us borrow one of the pet heating discs to put in a towel in her crate and I think it really helps.
At night, she goes in, curls up, and goes right to sleep. Now the problem - a few days ago she started waking up about every 2 hours. Not to go out, but it seems like she just needs reassurance, a few pats or a hug and then she curls right back up to sleep. She still wants out to potty about 1-2am and wants up for good about 5:30. Can certainly deal with that - but I'm concerned I may be starting a really bad habit by comforting her.
If I just ignore her, it seems to make her whine more and she gets excited.
Any suggestions or info would be greatly appreciated.
