well Layla's first night was a dream.. i think she was so stressed out from the drive (9 hours) that she just slept through.. however the next night.. was a nightmare... she cried and cried... but if you want your puppy to be crate trained.. you have to start the first night.. will she cry? probably.. but she will get through it.. when she does.. take her out.. bring her outside... tell her to "hurry up" or whatever your command is... then bring her in... don't make a big deal about it... tell her "Crate" and in she goes... if she continues to cry.. don't take her outa gain for a few hours... layla had two bad nights of crying ALL night.. then she got the picture that this was what was happening.. and now some mornings i can't get her OUT of her crate she loves it so much... and chances are... you will be up a few times a night for a few months... layla is 8 months... and it wasn't until she was 5 or 6 months that she slept through. a hint for you.. take her food and water away by 8... we did 7.. but i hear a lot of people say 8.... then potty before bed and you should be good to go. keep the questions coming.. we will do our best to help you out. can't wait to see picutres of you new baby!
