[SIZE=14pt] put the little fella in his crate for bedtime and he musted have lasted a whole ten minutes in it...the noise coming from him was awful to hear...started off a little whine then into full blown howling..i couldnt bare it so i put him in bed with me and he slept straightaway...he woke me at half four so it was a pee and a poop time...flynn went too :teehee: then back into me bed..just woke me now...any advice on crate training will be most appreciated cos i do want to get him used to it but i just melt when he starts whining..and he wags his tail like mad when you let him out of the crate :wub: [/SIZE]

how??? i cant....its awful annie...see he goes in there in the day no probs but as soon as i left him he started..i did ignore for a bit..maybe a whole 2 minutes

Have you tried covering the crate with a blanket like a 'den', and putting in a heat pad? We had endless problems with Brynn until we put him in the crate with Murphy, and now they love to snuggle up together! I think he got cold and lonely.

I got a little puppy 3 months ago . I put the crate downstairs and covered it and did everything , what a noise she made . Everyone said don't give in she will soon give up . Two weeks later she was still as bad so I put the crate in my bedroom .

If she gave a whimper during the night I gave a little cough just to let her know I was there . I have never heard another sound at night and now everyone is happy

 

[Painted Lady]

2 weeks???!! i couldnt bare to listen to one night of it :wacko: he is in the room next to me so he can hear me....glad your little one settled

[SIZE=21pt]lovely pics sarah made himself right at home, i think whats gonna happen is all the dogs will have your bed and you will be sleeping in the crate, :- " try putting the crate upstairs in your room he might sttle then when he gets used to it move him downstairs[/SIZE]

 

[Hula]

It was only two weeks because my husband wouldn't let me get up to her ! If I was on my own I would have given up after 5 mins .

She is my fifth dog and my husband only agreed to me getting her on condition she slept in a crate as our whippets sleep in beds and there is only so many dogs you can get in your bed :- "

oh sarah, your text message earlier made me laugh..........your a bloody soft touch, you need to be strong and ignore the scrummy little bugger :- "

those pic's are lovely :wub:
