- In this video, I will show you some simple things you can do when crate training isn't working. Puppy training can be a frustrating process if you've got a busy puppy. One of the best ways to keep your puppy from getting into trouble is to practice good puppy management, and a great way to do that is to use your crate for your puppy. A crate can keep your puppy safe, and allow you to always be giving your puppy good information as they explore the world!

See you in the Thursday Train Station! ~Ken
you guys a great!, thank u
Our puppy is really fussy with food and it is a struggle to get her to eat her meals and take treats so not sure how to reward her in the crate? Any tips on how to make the crate a happy place without a food reward? We have tried her favourite toys as well but she still wines?
What if it keeps barking after being interrupted without stopping
So so true - can’t stand outside the crate their entire life! It’s been a nightmare feeling like a prisoner in our own home. We can’t leave the room or the house. Once we’re in front of him all is well…sigh
I try to give her a treats to go in the crate not successful working anymore advice there she really need to get use to sleep alone in her own bedroom her crate is not far from my doorway 😖😣
The time stamp thing was really helpful, thank you!
What if the distraction doesn’t work at all?
An Answer would be great....
Thank you so much for this! My puppy had his first night in the crate last night thanks to this video. Long way to go with his crate training but we’re finally off the mark
Thank you so much this actually worked!
This key thing of interrupting the barking has made all the difference. It was so important to grasp the point you have made about breaking the barking as a self rewarding habit.
You guys are amazing, all your videos have been super helpful to train my little mini dachshund puppy up to now.
Hi there! Glad you have found our videos so helpful! Thanks for watching ~Ken
You hit the nail on the head..my 6 month PittBoxer learned the crate in 3 days..he's fine if I'm in front of him...as soon as I walk away..panic starts..I'm a new owner for him so he's still adjusting to me..new house..new environment..and a female dog who doesn't want him here.
I want him to be good n quiet when I walk away like he is when I'm in bedroom with him in crate.
I will try the long leash approach today...anything else or do I need to put crate where I am until he adjusts to his new home? He's super smart.
The breeder recommended we make food and water constantly available but you guys recommend meal times for the food.... this is only one of the things that I’m confused about. Our puppy and I have been doing pretty well with many of your training activities, so I’m trying to teach my kids to also be good leaders with the dog. I’d love to see a video or get some tips on how to teach my kids to play well with the dog, they tend to get a bit crazy playing chase with the dog which I have told them not to because I don’t want the dog chasing kids! Thank you, your videos have been the most helpful by far!
Our 11 week old puppy is doing very well with his crate training generally. He will happily go in for treats and all meals. Will sleep in there while we are home and we are able to move about the house without issue. He will go in and settle at home when we need him contained for short periods. Sleeps 6-7 hours in it at night in our room. However, we are trying to be able to put him in and leave him for short periods between our families work shifts and he is not having it even when he is VERY tired (or asleep) and has a special stuffed kong. Cries and carries on, pushes the tray out of the crate etc. Managed about 20 mins today until the mailman woke him up. Any hints? We will eventually need to leave him longer and want to get him prepared.
Hi guys! Wondering if you could create a video on day crate training your puppy (I have a 5month old daxie boy) and extending length of time in the day that they are crated and “home alone” ? How to gradually build up time? How to keep your pup occupied? Many thanks for all your channels help! :)
Hi. I love your videos and you both are super positive people - amazing. I have one question. I have a puppy beagle and he is terrible in being quiet and staying in the crate over the night. From your experience should I give up and move the crate to the bedroom as he will never learn, or persevere and hope that after a week or so he will learn that staying alone in the living room over the night is ok?
Good stuff
Great series of videos!
My dog is great in the crate in our living room if he is alone, however he hates the upstairs crate where we would like him to nap. Is it easier to train him to be comfortable in two crates or to stay calm when we are around doing things while he is in the crate?
My puppy doesn’t care if I try the rattling with a long leash thing. He keeps going nonstop
This is really helpful! Is there a playlist of this whole crate training series? Also, I'm using a big crate with a divider for my puppy so it's more shallow and wide any tips for how to get all 4 paws in when trying to reward at the back of the crate? He can still keep his back 2 paws out of the door frame when getting treats at the back of the crate. Love this channel!!
Hi there, Carolyn! You may need to reward in a corner of the crate, so that your puppy can’t easily reach in and gobble up the reward without going inside. I do have a playlist for you that will be really helpful. The first video will show you a couple of tricks for allowing your puppy to choose to go in and rewarding him when he’s all the way in! Here’s a link to the playlist: How To Crate Train A Puppy th-cam.com/play/PL7BBgLulhern5Nb8E0alfaTgCLPKYVk3_.html

hi McCann Dog, thanks for all your videos, it is really helpfull.
about crate traning though, you talk about all the possible problems we can have and the philosophy of the crate, which is great, but i can t find any video describing step by step how to behave after puppy went freely in the crate and i rewarded him. what when he wines? do i ignore it? how long can i leave him inside first, and so on
Feel hopeful to the crate be a safe and relatively fun place to hang while we rest a bit or work around the home.
Okay, I have watched so many crate training videos, I have a new rescue that hates the crate and car seat and has seperation anxiety. She is definitely a velco dog and her previous owner must have had her on his lap constantly.
I am trying to create seperation so she feels confident, she is not aloud to wonder the whole house and I try to crate her at different times of the day and use treats and do all that you have said.
I’m to the point that she will go into the crate on her own because I’ve taken her bed away and don’t let her on the couch and I leave the door open so she can come in and out and she is okay with that beacuse it’s her choice, BUT she will NOT go in on command when I need her to and when I finally lure her in with treats or pour her in and close the door because I need to shower or due bills, etc. then she will whine cause she no longer has choice and is sperated from me.
She will whine on and off and I ignore all whining and when she is quiet and I’m able, I let her out slowly. But I really need the help with crating on command.
Yay a video
Glad you enjoyed the video, Vianey! Thanks for watching! ~Ken

Hi,
All the way from Quebec city, I have been a big fan of your training videos on youtube for the past few months. I am going to adopt a border collie puppy in 2 weeks, and i am in the process of buying a crate. I am currently looking at the petmate kennels, and I have seen that you seem to be using them as well. I was wondering which size you would suggest I buy. They seem to suggest the 32" on their website for border collie, but i am afraid it might be too small when Woody will be an adult. What size do you have?
Thank you so much for you time,
Anne
Yes..very helpful..and logical...
Thank you, Linda! Glad you found the video helpful! Happy Training! ~Ken
She is a lovey 🐾
Gideon does great in his crate at home but when we go camping he whines, howls in his crate if we leave. How can I get him to calm down. We camp inn a camper so he is indoors. I would like to be able to take him with me in motel rooms too.
3 days home and my Golden crate use during sleep has been well. That might be because im next to her. All other times she wont stay in, food doesnt do it, tous dont do it. She snaps on the cold floor in front of it. I tried no bed because of the surface. When she grabbed a toy she would run to her fluffy bed, now that bed is in her crate, she takes toys away from it instead of being in it.
I have 6 month old beagle who is still very resistant to offering and/or going into his crate I have used most of the techniques that am able to do such as meal trick and quite long leash trick. I also had him for three days. So I am wondering if you can create a video showing how to overcome the value of the crate from the start will be great or direct me to a video that Has a similar issue that I am having?
Good afternoon. I have a 3 month old puppy who sleeps all night in her crate and does great. The issue we have is when I put her in the crate to leave she starts barking as soon as we walk out the door. I have worked with her on going into the crate voluntarily and feeding her in there as well. Any suggestions as this behavior is not while we are home and I cannot address it while gone.
I drive for a living. My new puppy is in a puppy carrier atm, and I'm unsure of the best approach to be able to keep the top of the carrier open.
So far, he wants to escape. Who wouldn't. I get it it.
I just tried repetition and reward. Didn't get to reward too much. He more frustrated and confused if anything.
Should I focus on other basic training like luring to get him used to the concept of rewards first?
Holding his harness/collar and waiting for him to settle partially works, until I let go.
I’m new to having a puppy and on potty training. Why do u not recommend not lining crate with towels, baby blankets, or potty pads?
The leash on the door is a god send
Thank you for all of the crate training videos! I’ve been following them all but my 9 week old pup doesn’t want play in her crate. She has toys she’s only allowed to play with in her crate, which does work sometimes, and has her meals in there but most of the time she’ll whine for a bit and then just go to sleep - so then she doesn’t sleep through the night... I need her to want to play in her crate so I can teach her how to be on her own when I have to leave the room/house. Do you have another video to address this? Thanks again!
Did you ever figure it out? I am in the same situation.
@@lizziephilips3437 I also have this situation, the puppy loves the toys but doesn't like playing with them in the crate.
Since my puppy has come home, we have fed her inside the crate. What usually happens is she paws at the dish until its all over the floor of the crate, and refuses to eat it. We also tried the crate game of getting her inside the crate--she won't go passed the half way point, and completely ignores kibble/treats on the floor of the crate (only taking it from my hand--at the halfway point and then running out). I am going to try doing the crate game again with the door of the crate removed first thing after her morning potty break to see how she responds, then maybe some basic luring around the house before giving her breakfast in the crate--at the front of the crate (over time moving it further inside) with praise when she eats. Wish me luck!
How did you go Lila? Did it work?
Yep the destruction doesn't work and i have an issue where as soon as i lay down she goes nuts for 30-40 minutes but only when its bedtime
How often and how long should you have the puppy in those crate?
When you are gone at work and the new puppy is in the crate, should you or shouldn’t you have a chew toy in there with them? If you do, is it safe?
Do you have a video how to teach your dogs to speak & to be quiet?
I have 2 puppies and the female barks to everything or everybody when we are outside. The male is ok but sometimes he follows her.
Also, if you have a video how to teach them to don't pull the leash? Can I show both of them at the same time?
Thanks guys again for the value you provide.
Hi there, vertigohan! We do have a "Teach Your Dog To Be Quiet, By Barking On Command" video. Here is a link: th-cam.com/video/_EdCPhfdeNs/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for watching! ~Ken
My bernese mountain dog puppy starts howling once he gets bored in the crate and at bedtime. I tried banging the crat roof but he never quiets down. We live in an apartment so I often have to give up and let him sleep on the floor. What do you recommend? Your videos have been so useful for us!
Hi there, Jacqueline! Your puppy may have figured out that if he persists for long enough that eventually he’ll be able to come out of his crate. It really can be a frustrating process, so I can totally appreciate that! There are a couple of things that you can do to help him to understand that his crate is a place where he can relax and be quiet, and I talk about them in this video as well: How To Stop A Dog From Barking In The Crate - th-cam.com/video/G5b2ILPr_YE/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for watching! ~Ken
I’ve done every one of these things and had no luck. We play the in and out game, I reward for shaping, I feed and play toys in the crate, all food happens in the crate. Still hates the crate. I stay in the room, I leave the room, I’ve tried “quiet”, I’ve left and come back, I’ve clipped the leash on the door-nothing. Idk what else to do.
How long per session should you train a puppy? Is it 5 minutes? 30?
How long do you do the crate training.
My puppy is 11 weeks. We have been doing lots of different training but crate training failed!! It was terrible! Do I have up for a few weeks. Is it too late to try again? What should I do? He doesn’t hate the crate. He eats in it and every now and then lays in it. I’ve done a lot of treating and such when he is in it.
My puppy love his crate, he just hates when you close the crate. He hates being closed off in general.
I got cathoula Aussie mix she bout 20 weeks old I've had her for months she refuses to quit barking through the night any help she quite maybe two hours at a time.
Our puppy is really fussy with food and it is a struggle to get her to eat her meals and take treats so not sure how to reward her in the crate? Any tips on how to make the crate a happy place without a food reward? We have tried her favourite toys as well but she still wines?
We just rescued a 3 month old female golden retriever and she does not like her crate when we leave for work. We believe that she has separation anxiety. We feel that because when we come home the floor in front of her create is soaking wet as well as her front legs. If you have some tips on helping us with this issue we would greatly appreciate your input on this matter.
Your videos on crate training have helped my anxious 10 month old BC pup so much this past week. We are working up to being in her crate while we are at work (with a nice break in between). She still gets much more anxious when she knows we are actually gone and she can't hear us anymore. Will that usually start to get better with practice? We try leaving her a frozen Kong and a chew bone in there, but once that door is closed she doesn't even touch it no matter what is inside or if it's her favorite toy ever. Is there anything I can do that will help her want to still entertain herself while she's in there?
Hi there, Caroline! I'm glad you've had so much success with your pup by following our videos! She will get more comfortable over time. But in the meantime, you should use her crate for short periods while you are home as well. The more comfortable she is when she's in her crate, the better. If you're nearby, you can place a tasty treat in there and let her go in and close the door. When she starts to engage with the treat or toy, you'll be able to praise her and reinforce her great behavior. On top of feeding her in her crate, you can play the fun restraint/fetch exercises where she runs into her crate, leaving the door open so she can come back out and try it again immediately. That exercise is a really fun one, and it's also a good way to burn off some of that puppy energy on a rainy (or snowy) day!
Happy Training! ~Ken
I have a 12 wk old puppy that I put the crate in our bedroom at first and then I moved it to the dinning room. After I did that he has barked for 3 hours or more all three nights. When he was in our room he did wine a bit bit not that much. Our goal is to not have him in our room because we realize we need to have him in a common area. Do you have any suggestions for us as we are low not sleeping at all
I have been applying your training techniques in all areas with my 4 month old male yorkie...everything has worked great so far so thank you!..however, I also have a 3 year old female yorkie whom I only trained in basic seat, stay and down commands..she suffers from terrible separation anxiety and could really benefit from crate training...is she too old to be crate trained? I don't want my 4 month old puppy to pick up this bad habit by seeing her freak out everytime we have to leave the house...
I love this question, Michelle. You can definitely teach your 3-year-old Yorkie to love her crate as well. I did the same with A Labrador of the same age. It may take a little more repetitions, but it is certainly a good idea. It can be a really great way to reduce that separation anxiety as well, as she learns how relaxing and comfortable her crate can be. In case you haven't seen it, here is a link to help you teach your 3-year-old to love being in her crate: th-cam.com/video/sBHJj5bqIkE/w-d-xo.html
Happy Training! ~Ken
We’re first time dog owners picking up our pup in just a couple of days! Thanks so so much for this wealth of info and help on your channel - I feel like I have good tools to get started right! Quick question: I know you don’t want soft bedding, etc in the crate while initially training, to limit the chance of accidents in the crate. Does this apply to sleep times, too?
My pup so far (week 2) doesn’t react when I tap on the crate or give a verbal “ah ah” and just continues to bark.. if he is super tired he will go in most of the time, but doesn’t want to go in if he’s not tired... 😔
I am possibly getting a puppy who has not been with her mother since 6 days old. The mom refused to feed both of the puppies, assuming because she's so old. The puppy is 5 weeks and has just switched over to solid food from puppy formula. Should all of these tips still work.. is there anything else, since the mom was not around to "train" them that I should be concerned about.
Hi so I have a 3 year old Great Pyrenees/ border collie rescue and i have tried all of the treat games and many other things to try and get him to go into the crate. He wont even go into the crate for his food or anything, I have tried using different crates and the biggest ones i can find. I even made one big enough so him and my other dog can be together. My other dog is great in the kennel and i was hoping being together would help but nothing works. How do i fix this?
Do you have a solution for a dog that is taken out almost every hour but as soon as they get back in the crate, they will only go to the bathroom in the crate? We clean and use an enzymatic cleaner to clean the crate after every accident. Please help.
By the way, he loves his crate and is great at everything else in there.
Our 12-week old puppy has been doing good, barks sometimes, but goes in by herself and eventually quits barking after a few minutes. We use a plastic crate at night and a wire one during the day in our family area. The last couple of days, she has started biting/chewing on the wire crate. I'm having to go back to work next week, and I'm afraid she'll get a tooth caught or pulled while I'm away. What to do?
Thank you for all of your videos! My dog is good in the crate until left alone in the room. Then it's hard to get her to stop barking. She also doesnt want any treats when offered for good behavior :( i will try these methods!
My dog only barks in the crate when I am not home (I see him on my camera), otherwise he is quiet. What can I do if I am not there?
I also hav this issue. And boy does he bark!
It seems like my pup gets more agitated when I'm in the room with him and he's practicing crate training. When we are doing short crate sessions he's really good. But he can only handle maybe 5 minutes or so at a time. But that doesn't work when he goes to bed, or when I have to work or whatever. It's only his 2nd day home, but I want to make sure I'm doing that right.
I’m having this exact issue right now! He only eats or plays in it, but the moment the door shuts he LOSES it. He has bad anxiety so I’m easing into it slowly, did you figure it out????
Thanks for much for these videos! I'm finding with my 9 week old pup that when she does quiet down and we say "good girl" it makes her start screaming all over again. Is there something else I should try?
Have you tried throwing her a treat? It's been a while since you posted so maybe it's a phase that's passed already... but even just looking at the dog is a reward, so after the barking spell, looking at the dog for a short while might be enough reward if speaking to them starts up the barking again.
My pup is already crate trained but just wondering.... I know you are against eCollars. I am against shocking my dog as well but we used an eCollar beep to do the same thing as the leash attached to the crate door. Just to startle her in order for her to be quiet, long enough that we could reward her. In general we found the beep very effective, as we could be completely out of the room. Do you recommend against that? I guess I could see how it would be tempting to shock the dog since the option is right at your fingertips? My pup was a rescue and had some negative association with the crate already so we were never tempted to cause her anymore pain in there.
Hi there, Malinda! The trouble with the beep is that it doesn't mean much if it isn't associated with a negative stimulus. And the trouble with using an e-collar is that a misplaced zap can do a lot of harm. Not only is it painful, but it can be really confusing and scary. It's difficult to pair the beep with an undesirable outcome, and you aren't close enough to acknowledge the good behavior when your pup is quiet. That's why I suggest the "long-line" idea. It allows you to give your pup the information to be quiet, and it forces you to be close enough to be able to communicate with them the when they are quiet that they're doing the right thing. Hope that helps, Happy Training! ~Ken
what are the "cookies" you give her for her meal?
QUESTION;. My 11 week old GS pup is fine in her crate most nights ,whines to "go potty" then comes right back to her crate to sleep. But with increasing frequency she won't comeback in but curls up in her outside bed to sleep. I live in Rock Creek , BC
Oops -wrong key! It is cold here in Bc and while she has a longish fluffy coat and is protected from predators I still worry as she is so young! Should I go get her and put her back or just leave her outside ,which she obviously prefers? She does crate well through the day for an hour or so..love your show so much!
Hi there, Susan! You should definitely be going outside with her, and be sure to have a leash on her as well. The last thing you want her to learn is that she doesn't have to listen to you unless you go out to get her. You'll also know right away if she's making noise to be let out because she just wants to go out and play, or if she actually does have to go potty. When she is done you can just walk her back indoors, and have her go into her crate, where she's safe and warm;)
Thanks for watching! ~Ken
Please help! My puppy (6mo) doesn't care if I rattle her crate with a long line. It doesn't phase her hardly at all and she'll just keep barking or whining. She doesn't always whine in her crate. Must of the time, she's perfectly fine but she HATES it when we leave so I'm trying to work on this. I gave her a stuffed frozen Kong and bully stick, went out the front door, and she still barked. I left the long line right by the front door, came in quietly to grab that while she was barking and couldn't hear me come back in and rattled it. After the initial confusion, she went back to barking 5 seconds later, despite rattling it over and over. It wasn't really making much of a sound for some reason though. Maybe because of the corners of the house it was rubbing up against? Do you think if I can get it to rattle louder, it will work? Thank you!
My dog seems to have a panic attack in the crate, and has extereme anxiety. The barking is so bad that we can't sleep or relax even in other rooms. On top of that, he has figured out how to open the crate from the inside and often escapes...
My dog will not take food from his kennel. He is terrified. He sleeps overnight in the kennel absolutely fine but daytime absolutely loses his mind. I would like him to be able to even just walk in and out at this stage. He is 9 weeks. I don't want him to have trauma. Any suggestions?
My pup poops and pees in crate. The size is right. He is 12 weeks and I brought him home 3 days ago. He doesn't poop in the yard.
My 10 week old pup will pee in her crate when she starts barking and getting upset. She also does it when we have her gated in a puppy friendly area of our house. Any suggestions?
I tried using the leash trick to rattle the door of the crate. My puppy just got louder. :(
Hi I have a 8 month old puppy. He is a mixed breed dog part Blue Heeler and part BC. so he pretty high energy. How do I keep him from shredding his bed when he is in the crate ?
Hi there, Dave! You should remove all bedding from the crate if your puppy is shredding it. If you are able to supervise him, that would be a great opportunity to have him in his crate and you'll be able to see and hear him when he begins to chew and tear it. Then you can use your voice to mark that behavior. Puppies will do whatever it is that they find rewarding. Without you there to give him the information that it isn't acceptable, because it feels good, or he thinks it's fun, he will continue to do it. If you can break the habit of him destroying his bedding, or you're able to keep an eye on him in there, then he can have something like an old towel (or something you don't mind getting ruined) until you're confident that he isn't interested in chewing his bedding. Lots of puppies will stop doing that behavior after they have either been trained through it, or they haven't been able to rehearse the act of shredding their bedding for a while. Thanks for watching! ~Ken
I have my 10 month old puppy's crate outside. I used to use old quilts or blankets for bedding, but she always chewed and shredded it. I now use straw for bedding, so she doesn't chew it.
I got a bigger problem i attempt to try to put my dog in her crate she bark and doesn’t even like to go inside the crate i am frustrated i try to sleep in my own bedroom she need to get use to sleep even if left in the crate
Ya that’s all nice and dandy but my puppy rotty likes to bit the create and my wife sings to him and he sleeps that’s something my wife do to make him fall asleep at night during the day I am at home and he fuss a little while I’m doing something in the house but I always come back to him and say good boy for sleeping in the crate so he really wants attach to me
That’s good and dandy at night my wife sings to him during the day when I’m home I put him in his crate and whine when I got to do something’s in the house but sleeps for and hour then I take him out because he whine to much because his is attach to me my Rottweiler behave some what but he is a puppy we play and I take him out to the yard so he can play.😃
I'm planning on getting a puppy (small breed - shichon) and I want to potty train it to go both outside and inside (especially when I would take it to my office and wont be able to take it outside). Can you make a video about how to accomplish this? Should I train one form of potty training first or both at the same time? Any insight would be appreciated.
What if the pup snatches the treat and backs out as fast as possible? Is it ok to force them to stay in? He wont remain in. Also if I try to feed and close door he wont eat he just gets mad and starts crying. He scratches and bites the door.
My dog 😩
When I reward my 18 week old puppy for being quiet, then he intentionally barks and then goes quiet, in order to get the reward! He learns the ’game’ and basically begins training us! Any suggestions?
But is the crate a good thing though??
Hi there,
My dog doesn't take the treats after I tap the crate and reward him for being quiet. He's very suspicious of the crate and won't go fully in ever no matter what. What should i do? Thank you!!
Hi there, Kayla! That's not a problem if your puppy doesn't want treats in that situation. Simply praising him, and telling that he's good for being quiet is one way to mark that good behavior and reinforce it. I have a video all about crate training exercises that you should work on with him to help him feel more comfortable in his crate: th-cam.com/video/sBHJj5bqIkE/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for watching! ~Ken
How would you reward other than speaking
Do you recommend anything for longer stints in the crate? Such as when I need to go shopping or during work hours. It would never exceed 4 hours but small puppy bladders raise some concerns for me when daily life must go on regardless of the puppy.
That's a great question, Taylor! Spending a little extra time playing with your puppy before they need to go in their crate is a good idea in that situation. It could be something as simple as playing a game of tug. Or working on some luring exercises. Or simply some recalls from one end of your hall to the other can really help your puppy to be ready to have a snooze when they go in their crate for a longer period. Take them out to potty before you leave, and they will have burned off enough energy that they'll be more settled in their crate. And taking them out to potty before they go in their crate will reduce the chance of them having an accident in there.

I have had my 4 month old puppy for 2.5 weeks now and really struggling with this. I am confused at what methods to use. One of the videos says to interrupt with voice and praise when quiet and NO food. Another says to use food when they are quiet. So my puppy sleeps in her crate in my bedroom at night no problem. Not a peep, perfectly quiet. The problem is with the daytime. I do alot of training sessions , and long play sessions outside in my yard to tire her out. But when I put her in the crate to get some things around the house done or work, she gets super loud. Crying and whining, and now howling loudly. Fine if im in the room, but the second I walk away she starts. I have tried to interrupt her, but it only works a second. And I praise and say yes when she is quiet for a few or more moments, but it doesnt seem to help at all. If she is in my room and I shut the door (with her in the crate) and walk away she goes nuts. If I walk up to the shut door she stops. I dont know if she can smell me close or not. But im getting so frustrated. I dont want her barking and howling the entire time in her crate if Im gone if I leave home. Please help! P.S. we do crate training games and she only eats her meals in her crate. I think im doing it all right but nothing seems to work, and its gotten worse.
OH and im worried if I let her bark that she is rewarding herself. But I dont want to yell at her either. (tapping on crate or using leash on grate doesnt work at all)
@@MountainDewRoolz we're in exactly the same place with our 9 week old pup, what ended up working for you?
@@annikavare to be honest Annika, time and consistency. She grew out of this.
My dog is anxious when left and poops in her crate when im gone.
Anything i can do?
I am having the same issue! Did you get any effective advice?
I had this problem and finally put in the crate divider giving the puppy only enough room to comfortably sleep. This stopped the pooping in their ‘bed’ if that makes sense.
Would you please tell me whether it is alright to use pee pods until the dog has the necessary shots to go out? Thank you
No, the dog will want to pee on fabric and not in grass
My puppy will eat his meals in the crate, sleeps really well in the crate during the night. He knows that all of the good things come from the crate and he will go looking in the crate for treats or toys. But the second i close the door to the crate, even with me in the room and he can see me he will go crazy. Praise when quiet is not working, and treats when quiet are not working. HELP!
My puppy is 4 months old . he loves to run to his crate when its time for his Kong ( stuff with food)
after 10 to 15 minutes in his crate the crying game begins.
he cry s and bark for a while then stop
when he stop i din t want to get him too excited again
so i cross my finger that he finally understand
But this cycle goes on till its time to come out .
i let him out only when he is calm.
Thanks for the video i will ajust the method i was using.
Hi there, Double Bounce Beat! We do have a video that will help you to teach your puppy to be quiet in his crate. I think you're on the right track by making sure he's quiet before letting him out. Here is a link to the crate barking video so you can train through that behavior: th-cam.com/video/jQTpS4SAWI0/w-d-xo.html

@@McCannDogs thank you for the link to the video. it is verry informative , i will try this . thanks again.
I swear I’m about to get rid of this dog like I have never been so miserable😭
Tapping on the box isnt working for me, puppy is screaming for 10 mins or more
Our 9 week old puppy will whine and dig at her crate at night.. it’s right next to the bed and she has a couple chew toys in there. We tap on the crate and say quiet every time but it doesn’t help.. she whines every hour and a half to two hours so we always think she needs to go outside so we let her out and she pees in her spot right away! Then we bring her in and she willingly will in her crate but then she will whine for 20 minutes... any advice would help immensely as we’re getting no sleep at night...
What ab if your dog isn’t food motivated at all 😭
Feeding your dog in their crate isn't practical for people who feed their puppy's a raw food diet. You'd have bacteria all over their blanket and floor.
