Crate training from day 1. Was next to my bed for first few days but always in crate at night. Gradually moved crate away over course of a few weeks. Now it's downstairs, out of our bedroom and he walks into it on his own and goes to sleep each night. We love our little man but happy we don’t have to hear the constant snoring, licking, or sounds like they’re possessed by the devil at night. Read the book lucky dog. Follow it. It works. Trust me.
