incessant barking in the crate
She was one of 11 in the litter. All slept together and parents were on site. Do you think she is missing her littermates or is there more to this? I have placed a warm blanket in the crate, favorite toy, gave her treats for getting in the crate, and turned on soft music while I was gone. None of it has mattered. I do understand she is very young, but she is absolutely, frantically opposed to this crate. Any ideas? I must leave her for a bit tomorrow and she simply does not rest while in the crate. Thank you for any help! |

| At night, can you put the crate next to or close to the bed? This is the way I got my last three dogs through the crate tantrums. At night, if he started to cry I could just reach down and say a few words and he would quiet down. He just wanted to be sure I was still there. Barking and whining at night "might" be a signal they need to potty. Simon, when we first got him used to get me up twice a night to go potty...and he did potty and went back to sleep. They are babies and have small bladders and need to empty often. |
| Thank you! We put the crate by the bed last night. She whined for a second, but no barking. BEst of all, she slept all night and so did I! Leaving her during the day in the crate will still be an issue, but hopefully she will tire out and quit barking  |
| I'm glad that worked for you. I know it helped us. Once they get used to the crate at night, the day comes easier. |
