I feel your pain! I have a litter of 10 week old pups and they sure can make their wishes known! What I do to get them used to the crate is I block off the kitchen so that's the only area they can run around in when they are not supervised. In one corner, I have the crate with the door open and I put some puppy kibble inside. They think it's a treat and they will go in there and now they will sleep in there on their own. I have not actually locked them in there all night long. I think with their other siblings running around, that would not go over too big but I might have to try tackling that soon as they will be going to their new homes soon and I just want to get them ready so that they have as little stress as possible when they leave here. |
