Bella was 11 weeks old when we started, and she whines and barked off and on for awhile ( I almost caved in at that point) but told myself no it was for her own safety.. it took about 2 days of this, and then I got the idea to give her a treat when I put her in there, and ever since, she dont mind her crate, I guess cuz she knows with the crate comes the treat...oh and I have special treats just for the crate, I saved her favorite treats for crate time. so she got the message after a few days that she only get her favorite treats when she is in her crate..now I know if she is in her crate and she is whining or barking, I know that she has to go potty, cuz thats the only time she barks in there now.
