I want her to get use to being in the carrier so when we have to take her out she wont whine and stuff or if I ever need to be gone for a period of time because usually I'm at home. I dont want her to sleep in there because she does pretty good outside of it especially since she is pad training and she doesn't have to wake me up to go. I just want her to be able to go in there and relax when the time comes. I tried putting treats in there to lure her in without it seeming like a punishment. She started going in there but she gets the treats and come out. One time when she went in I put her toy in there and closed it and she went off. However I never let her out until she quiet for at least 10 seconds or more.
Should I continue to put her in there for periods of time everyday and just give it time? Or should I try something else?
I'm sorry if this has been asked before but i just wanted to give specifics. |
Hi and welcome to YT. Congratulations on your new puppy Brooklyn. It sounds like you are going about it the right way with the crate. I would just continue to put treats in there and let her investigate. I set Buster up in an closed off area that had access to his crate and also to his carrier so that he would be comfortable hanging out in either one. I ended up getting a different carrier that he loves to hang out in it is a Petflys carrier
Welcome To Pet Fly's - Trendy, Edgy, Airline approved pet carriers for traveling in style, comfort and safety on board a plane, train, automobile or just hanging out with you. and I just use the plastic carrier for vet visits. I look forward to seeing pictures of your Brooklyn.
