We cant trust him with the cats yet and if i dont crate him he tries to beat the door down. so anyways i make him go to bed at night in a crate, he hates it, whines ALL night and tries to tear the walls down! how do i stop this behaviour, i thought it would settle down after a couple weeks but it hasnt in fact its like its getting worse! i dont go in or talk to him at all if he is yelling, so he isnt getting any positive rienforcment to cry. has anyone had this problem and what on earth can i do!? (i have been feeding him in there to try and get him used to it as well) Nothings working and im going crazy from lack of sleep!

You could also try working on " no noise".   Report to moderator   Logged     | The administrator has disabled public write access.

Treats and food in the crate to help him associate good times with his crate. Also, don't ever use it as a punishment... =) Hopefully some of this helps. Good luck!   Report to moderator   Logged     | The administrator has disabled public write access.

So we went out and bought a big one. For the first few weeks all he did was whine and then progress to barking. We started leaving the little tv on for him next to the crate and then put a blanket over the top. Our bedroom is too small or else I would have put the crate in there. Thankfully we don't use it anymore. Both Daisy and Mason have their own beds in our bedroom and in the living room. The crate is now used to store the dog kibble.   Report to moderator   Logged     | The administrator has disabled public write access.
