1. 8 weeks pup is still a baby, you just took her in to a place where she never been to..so needy, scared, whines, etc are normal.
2. Crate training 4 - 5 hours = big mistake ( I learned from mine
). Just like everyone has said, crate is a place where a dog needs to feel safe and relaxed. By doing this, only going to make your pup feel like in a prison, thus once she's out she would never go back in again.
3. Potty training is different than crate training. Learn what's your goal and do schedule; meal --potty -- play --potty -- crate (nap time) -- potty, repeat.
4. When you are home and can't supervise her, thus you put her in the crate, try turn the tv a little bit loud. I did this, for some reasons I thought he would felt less lonely/scared by hearing people voice from tv..and frankly it worked for me. If he would still whine a little bit, then I clap my hands just to starled him.
5. At night time, I gave mine a treat once he is in his room (his crate)..until he is sure that his room is safe, then I stop his treats. At first he would whines, but that only last like 10 minute tops.
6. Throw in some toys inside the crate.
7. Be patience
