.....if they keep whining at night just give a firm "no!" then immediate "good girl" really praising them.....keep that up a few times...if it is feasible you can put the crate up on your bed so they are next to you at least and comfort them w your fingers in the crate....after two or three nights they should get the message........and when you have to leave them in the crate during the day make sure you wear them out playing so they will enjoy the nap time when you are gone otherwise they will be frustrated if they are still filled w lots of energy......... |
