From my own experience, Abbey has been great with the crate. She goes in the crate on and off on her own during the day to nap. If we go out for dinner or to shop she goes in her crate with no problem. She also will whine if she is too awake at night so I try to walk her or play with her to tire her out some. Then she is fine. Abbey does whine and bark at times but we NEVER give in. That's a must! I know it's a pain but you really have to ignore her and eventually she will stop. (I've actually used ear plugs) Do whatever you have to do to get thru it. Honest, it is worth it!
Good Luck! |
