When I first got her she would cry and whine constantly when I put her in her crate or in a gated off room. I was persistent in not going to her and she has gotten better. She still cries when put in her gated off area (I think she knows this means I am going out or to work) but she is good in her crate...never cries.
I also have a problem with teething. She is biting everything including me! I am a little nervous when she does that and I was hoping puppy classes would help (though she can not go there for a few weeks since she needs her shots). It is IMPOSSIBLE for me to get her leash on as she just keeps turning around to bite me/the leash. I have tried yelling ouch, ignoring her, and even bumping her nose...she just tries to jump up and bite me!
Housebreaking has also been a challenge. I take her out and she goes but then she comes in and goes some more! today she went outside 6 times already and in the house twice. She also will not go on the pee pads. I have even placed her on there and she runs off to pee somewhere else. I am keeping her more and more in her crate b/c she will not pee or poo in there. I only let her out to play and eat and for walks. I feel bad but I hear that is what you should do if you crate train. I have the next 3 days off and I hope to make some progress. Good luck and know you are NOT alone!  |
they do bite at the beginning, they are like kids so that's the way of playing and it's annoying I know. It will go away too don't worry. mine never like the crate. you are lucky yours stays in it.
