Yes, I just bought her last Thursday and she was acting this way nitely ever since. She seems to cry for longer periods when out of her crate because she has the freedom to atempt to claw at the confined walls/boards I had laid down t fence her in the kitchen. My bedroom is only 8 feet away as I live in an apartment, so it's not like she can't see me or sense me. I sleep with my bedroom door open for her to see me. I even put her in the crate and in my room for the first nite and it didn't help much. She'd still wake up every 2 hours and cry to be let out. The previous owner told me she never used a crate and had her sleep on the bedroom floor or in bed with her for short periods. I think this is what my puppy is use to now. I want to break that habit.
I have a pee pad, water, food, open crate in a confined kitchen setup right now. She does take well to the crate, so I don't believe it's the issue. I've tried leaving the crate door open, closed, nothing stops her cries/squeals. I haven't tried the radio on all nite as I prefer to have peace at nite. |
