Yesterday was a little better, aside from the 20 minutes he spent making a noise akin to a dying baby Wookie. If it didn't happen so much it'd be funnier. If I could up load an audio clip I'd post it.
I'm incorporating treats into crating now, to try and make it more positive for him. I get a small handfull of kibble and make him sit for a kibble piece before going to his crate. I figure it'll knock two birds out with one stone (or a handful of kibble), a quick training session and a positive act coupled with the dreaded crate.
It's just so utterly hard to ignore him when he throws a tempter tantrum. That's my only downfall. |
