If you haven't already tried this, place the puppy's crate on a chair right next to your bed so he can see your face when he's in the crate. Then if he fusses just tap lightly on the crate and soothe him (no playing though!). Eventually, you can move the crate to a different place in the room. I think we kept Gracie's crate by the bed for a couple of weeks then moved it to the floor across the room. Good luck :-) |
