I just got my "baby" Logan almost two weeks ago. This is the second dog I have brought home as a puppy, and both times I crate trained them. Yes, they will cry at first. Logan did, too. But when you give in and take him/her out, that reinforces the crying, and she will continue to do so because it works. Housetraining Logan has become much more successful since I've been using his crate properly. He doesn't cry anymore either. Don't give in to the crying or you will forever be doing what your puppy wants rather than your puppy doing what you want. |
