Hi all,
I'm after some advice on a puppy / pet monitor.
We have just got a new toy poodle puppy and we are in the process of crate training her. She's doing really well –she started in the bedroom until she was completely used to the crate, and is now in the large downstairs bathroom (which will be "her room"). I'm currently sleeping on a blow up near the crate to get her used to sleeping in that space, and I've been slowly moving it out into the hallway –I'm now at a point where she can't see me at all and she's still doing great, so I'm hoping to move back upstairs into my bed soon (I can't wait to not be sleeping on a blow up mattress again!)
Obviously, I'm still getting up 1-2 times / night to take her out to the toilet –I'm planning to set an alarm and slowly increase the time in between toilet breaks, but want to have a pet monitor / camera that will alert me if she wakes up at any other time and needs the toilet, or if she starts crying for any reason. Can anyone recommend a good one? I'd ideally like one that will alert me to sounds (although we are playing her very soft classical music which she seems to like, so I'm not sure if this will work??) as well as allow me to see her on video, both when we're at home and –eventually –when she is home alone for short periods.
I was looking at Furbo but unfortunately it needs to be plugged into an outlet in order to function. As the crate is in the bathroom, there is no outlet (other than the 'shavers only' outlet). So, I'd be after one that can be charged and operate on batteries.
I've tried doing some research into both pet monitors and baby monitors but it's all a bit overwhelming and I can't work out which one is best.
Any advice would be hugely appreciated!
Thanks
