thank you for the advise. she is crate trained but we have her at night in her "burrow" bed at the foot of our bed, which i realize now is not a good idea. i will try the treat approach, and she does respond to her name and the treat, and i will try to crate train her for nightime, she likes the crate during the day when i have to leave her for a bit, thanks, and i will try what you advise.
