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...

Hi everyone! New to the forum, and hoping to get some advice on my new 11 week old blue heeler puppy. I got her almost 2 weeks ago, and we immediately worked on crate and quiet training during our first weekend together. After a weekend of working on it, she was okay being put in the crate...

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...

Hi all, I’m a first time puppy owner, and have a 12 week old blue merle great dane named Theo. I did a lot of research on this breed for almost a year before bringing him into my home, and he is the perfect pup for me! He is very sweet and loves cuddling, and has done very well with almost...

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...

Hello, first time puppy parent here. Mommy of a 10 week old Corgi Mix male. So, I seem to have gotten potty training down. However, I seem to be having trouble crate training, and am still dealing with whining in the crate. We have had Bailey for 3 weeks now, and we have a variation when...

Hi all, just hoping for some tips to make sure crate training goes smoothly with Magnus our 9 week old cockapoo who has joined myself, my husband and our 18 month old cocker spaniel Maisie. Ok so first off Magnus is lovely he's a cuddle monster and has only been separated from his siblings...

: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. My children thought that it would be best if old dad had a dog. They found an 14 week old female Shih Tzu/ Bichon frises mix that...

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.) We're not exactly sure how she was raised as this...

What do I do? He's 9 weeks old, and barks and whines when I leave the room with him in his playpen let alone the house. I'm trying to train him with sit and spin in a circle to give him confidence, I'm trying to crate train him but I'm getting stuck at him being in the crate for 5 minutes with...

So we got our new addition the family a cavapoo we named Izzy. She is such an amazing dog and I think I researched how to care for a puppy so much that I think it hindered me. So we had her set up in a play pen with her crate inside. she did fine the first week. We let her stay out and only kept...

I'm going to a nosework seminar with Snowball, but all dogs have to be able to be crated and he's not formally crate trained. (He'll also need to be able to be crated when the office is empty if I take him to work with me). Luckily, we have several weeks to work on it. We've spent several...

Hi, I have a 5 month old mini dachshund. He is quite good suprisingly, but he still has a lot to learn. He is basically potty trained, I read all these sites that say routine is important. And I really try to get him into a routine, but I also realize that dogs are different, and that I cannot...

First of all, here's the problem in a nutshell: Anytime (ANYTIME!) and for any length of time our 15-week-old dachshund puppy is crated or separated from me in any way, she poops and then walks/steps/jumps in it constantly until I retrieve her to bathe her. (On multiple occasions she has then...
