All,
I appreciate all the feed back.
This is the thing ... the reason why we want to crate train is because of cases where we MUST leave him alone... we do not want him roaming the house freely but rather put him in a closed crate so we can be assured he does not do something or go somewhere that will get himself hurt or stuck or w/e.
its been 1 week and hes still crying in the crate when we leave him in a separate room. ALTHOUGH i did feel bad 2 days ago so i put his crate on a sturdy table next to my be... he whined a bit but went easy to sleep NO PROBLEM !!!
QUESTION IS .... IF i kept his crate near my bed so he may peacefully sleep, the next time i leave the house he will still cry and whine correct ? We want him to e comfortable in the crate ALONE in case of rare times when no one will be there ...
Question for all the owners who let them sleep near them without a crate ... what do you all do when you guys have to leave them alone for 4 hours ? do they cry cause they miss u ?
the whole thing is we want him to be comfortable alone ... some people with puppies had advised that they will get comfortable over time but i really do feel bad and if leaving the crate by my bed will still let him be independent but let him sleep peacefully, ill do that ...
I really would like to hear from experience how to leave the puppy aloe, those who use crates and those who dont ... (not days, just hours) want to teach them to not cry is what im after....
So sorry if this is confusing, tried explaining this best i could have.
You guys are all the best and really appreciate it !
btw - we dont let him touch the ground outside until he has all his shots ... well all paranoid about his health and well being hahahah
