| Question about kennel training Hello all! Emma is doing awsome w/her potty training, using her pads and outside very well! But my question is this. The past 2 nights we have been keeping her up untill 11:30pm so she would sleep good, then around 3:30-4 am she wakes up barking/crying/scratching in her cage. This morning, at 4:30am, i just got up really fast to make sure she didn't poop in there because the night before she did and kept barking from 3-7 non stop. Well last night before putting her in her cage to go to bed she did go poo, but not a whole lot. I was just wondering if we should keep doing this or what? Thanks |

| The only way I've ever seen a dog really housebroken is by crate training. They are dogs, they will adapt! I leave mine in his crate except for when we are playing or when he is eating. I do not let him run around the house when I'm not watching. You should be able to crate train a dog within a month if you are consistant. There will always be accidents, but your dog should have it down pretty solid. As for the whining and barking, yeah, they will. I always say NO loudly when he starts, and if he continues I ignore him or hit the top of the kennel. He gets the hint, and if not, I ignore. They wear themselves out. Also, with kennel trainning, you have to make sure they only have enough room to turn around and lay down, or they'll go in one end and lay on the other. Their crate is a place where they can learn to relax and sleep and be calm. A lot of pet owners don't like leaving their dogs crated, but it doesn't hurt them, and it actually does them a lot of good. It produces well-trained, calm dogs. |
