 Bad day
This may not help at all, but my puppy cried and yelped in her crate non-stop on the first day I was at home with her. I ended up sitting on the couch with her and I was crying. My husband came home and found us both crying. Not knowing what to do with either of us, he took the puppy up to see the vet. She said Yorkies, most of them don't like loud noises, told us to cover the crate with a towel to remove the visual stimulus and when the crying starts give the crate a sharp rap and say'quiet' firmly. Not a violent hit on the crate, just sharp. worked like a charm. I often look back on that day and laugh at myself, but that day, it was definitely not funny. |
