crating worked great for us. we introduced our pup to it the first afternoon - left the door open and threw some treats in to make it a positive place. when it came time for bed, we put her inside and closed the door. she slept through the night and has ever since.
the worst thing you can do is give in to any whining. she might cry all night, but it's better to put up with a couple sleepless nights than to have a whiny dog for 15 years.
good luck! |
