I have an 8 week old whippet, Winnie. I'm on about day 5 of crate training and it's taking its toll both physical and emotionally. I lose many hours of sleep which sucks, but worse is the feeling of guilt I get while my little pup is howling away in the early AM. She sounds miserable, but I've...

OK, I searched the potty threads, but this seems more like a behavior/potty combo. So: Male 14 wk old GSD mix. Does well through the night in the crate, one walk at about 4 a.m. (plan to do the whole night starting next week) no whining More gradual day crate training. Because we both work...

I have a 2 month old puppy who is struggling with crate training; particularly crate peeing. The crate is only big enough for him to turn around in and lay down. He doesn't have an issue with peeing in his crate and laying in it. He hasn't pooped in the crate, only peeing. During the day he is...

Fellow dog owners, my recently-adopted 2-yr old 75lb dog seemed like the perfect pet for the first month or so that we had him. He was already housebroken (although not microchipped) and we didn't bother crate training him because he seemed so well-behaved when we were gone. After a month went...

:wink: I am 74 years old and have always lived with a dog or dogs. My last dog was a Shih Tzu that I had to put down at 14 tears with multiple large cancerous tumors.

About five days ago we got a 7 week old German Shepherd puppy from somebody through a friend of ours (I know 7 weeks old is too young, but she seemed desperate to give her pups away and we couldn't bear to leave her in the conditions she was in.)
