 Whining/barking in crate
We've had 3 month old Ozzy for about 1 week. He's fantastic, but my only issue is with whining/barking when he's in his crate. He doesn't do this all the time. Sometimes he just settles down and we don't hear a peep. Other times he whines and barks in a really high pitch non-stop. We've tried ignoring it, and tried being assertive and saying "no barking". We don't crate him at night - he sleeps with us in bed. He'll do this when we crate him during the day when we're home and can't watch him like a hawk (so we're still around, making noise, talking, etc), or when we crate him to leave the house (we can hear him from outside).
Is it possible that ignoring it for long enough will make it stop, or should we try something more drastic, like squirting him with water? |
