Hecc
Supa bubbly, 1-year-old 'Choco'
Choco's sister : Ugh, it's tiring. Gonna take a nap in peace
Me too
That was a good stroll man
Shall I take a nap~
'Choco' sleeping while standing
Choco's mom : She dozes off while standing up
She could sit and rest, but she wouldn't
Why doncha sleep sound instead of taking a short-sleep-while-standing
Lie down with me
My answer is NO
That stubborn attitude
refusing to sleep in a comfy bed..
Choco's mom : She had no problem sleeping in the bed before
She slept quite well that I was rather worried, thinking she might be sleeping too much
It's dangerous outside
Since when has 'Choco' who used to be a sleepyhead
started sleeping while standing?
Choco's mom : A day before we moved out
I asked my sibling to take care of her for a day
Even on that day, I heard she fell asleep standing up
Where she slept while standing for the first time
Yet
She's lying down tho..?
Choco's mom : Only when she needs to (for a bit)
Choco's relative : I played with her when she asked
But she wouldn't try to sleep at night
That night when mom wasn't with her
She fell asleep standing up
Since that day
Choco's kept sleeping while standing even after she moved to a new house
Choco's mom/ Choco, come up~
The family's concerned about Choco who not only refuses to sleep in the bed
but also avoids any touches from people
Trainer Chan-jong
Over 10 days
Choco couldn't sleep sound
Lee Chan-jong Director of Esac Pet Training Center : It's not she can't sleep. She chooses not to sleep
SHOOK
Moreover
She's run away (when hands are given to her)
which indicates that she has bad memories of touches
It must be something related to you
Choco's mom : I'm not at home quite often
and I don't let her sit on my lap 'cause I'm worried she might get separation anxiety
Keeping distance from Choco, worrying she might get separation anxiety
would rather have made her feel anxious..
Hence she thinks something bad might happen when she's asleep
Choco, mom's sorry..
You're going to help her to lie down when she's standing up
Teach her 'lying down on this floor' isn't so bad
Struggles
To make her feel comfy in her mom's arms
slowly touches♥
(Choco, I got you, so no worries and sleep well)
When she gets up (after sleeping) and comes back after eating on her own
She'll feel like she slept very well. The quality of sleep is tote different from before
Teaching her nothing but only good things could happen
no matter how much she sleeps is a key point..!
Continuous efforts led Choco
to catch up on lost sleep..!
Choco's mom : It's amazing to see her sleeping while lying down
I can sleep feeling worry-free from today
Proud
Fellas~
Choco's been eating well
and became a healthy doggo who sleeps well just like before
