[Simon & Teddy]

Are you putting him in the crate for the entire day or in the pen? Since I have the pen attached to the crate, they can play for a while, then go to bed to rest. It took them a little while to get used to when I locked the crate while they slept. I covered it with a blanket and that seemed to help at night. Just be patient and don't give in......they need to learn that THEY are not the boss, otherwise it'll be difficult in training him. Let him bark for a few minuyes and he shoul;d stop. Just last night the older one barked on and off for a few minutes because, just like a child, he judt didn't want to go to sleep. I attached a picture of my crate and the pen that I attached. They are 4 & 5 months old now and the 5 month old 95% of the time makes on the pad, but the little guy is still gettign there....He was GREAT in the beginning, but took a few steps backward, but now is going in the right direction. Good luck!!
