Gosh such a lifetime ago! I remember when she was very bitey (just like this little one) and it does help to remember how calm she got (and by the end was not a morning dog! 😂).
Albie thinks my cup of tea is a toy just for him 🙄
If you don't want him getting on the sofa at night (even if that rule bends or changes in future) you could put cardboard boxes on it so he can't get on there but hopefully won't be able to just pull them off and get on anyway.
Good news - he will get there. Whippets are pretty crazy and hard to keep from jumping all over lol.
Keep at the crate training though - it will pay dividends in the end. To be fair, they may cry a bit at night in them but they should be asleep anyway Just association the crate with treats and toys as often as possible.
Good way to get a bit of time for a show is get a small puppy kong and fill it with banana, peanut butter or apple sauce, or pretty much anything safe and freeze it overnight. That keeps them busy in the crate for ages. Just don't overdo the apple sauce.
