[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 407064, member: 84"] I crate trained in short sessions, especially for older pups. Crate contained a raw hide, a stuffy.........sometimes a blanket, cushion, ect depending on if the dog was house trained or not........cuz if not you certainly don't want that in there. That makes it a bit more pup friendly.....and gives them something to do if they get bored other than bark or whine. When they went into the crate they got a treat, told what a good doggy they are. Of course any dog not used to the crate is going to whine/bark and carry on at first hoping you'll let them out. With most this usually only last a few minutes. But there are dogs that can carry on for hours and hours and make you want to strangle them. At first Molly hated the crate. Of course she did. She was 5 wks old and had run free with her parents and littermates until we brought her home. I can out stubborn any dog. But my girls couldn't bare to listen to her baby cries and snuck her out and into Nichole's bed. It took me a while to catch on to this as they snuck her back into the crate when they got up in the morning. lol This did not help her crate training. It made it much worse. So I did the small amt of time in the crate thing. Because Molly was the dog who would not stop crying barking ect. I started with 10 mins. When it was over I praised her on what a good puppy she was and rewarded with a treat. (treat in and treat out with lots of praise both ways) I did that several times for several days. Then I'd always put her in it when I cleaned as she was gifted at getting underfoot or wanting to play when I was busy. So the length of time varied. And it didn't bother her so much with someone in the house. Then I was left with only the crying and barking when we left the house. So I did that for short periods to. I think it took about 3 wks to stop the barking and whining all together. Now Precious........responded to none of that. She didn't bark ever but she cried non stop and it drove me nuts. I think her breeder fibbed about her having been kept in a crate there. Having grown up with birds.......and in short supply of patience one evening.....I draped her crate with a sheet. She instantly shut up. From that moment on she slept with a sheet over her crate. Betsy started out the same way but we gradually weaned her from the sheet. Betsy is soooooooo crate trained that if someone opens the fridge and she hears a cheese wrapper? She runs into her crate. :rofl: [/QUOTE]
