Ok, I am a first time yorkie owner.
You guys know that I've just received my little guy on Friday.
I am in the process of trying to crate train him.
Well Let me just tell you that- HE HATES CRATES!!!!
He barks, whimpers, and it's almost sounding like he's yelling OMG.
I have no problem leaving him out of his crate except for my cat snarf. His litter box has to be out, and I am scared that by leaving my little guy out of the crate when I am gone is gonna provoke him to get into snarf's litter box, and possibly eat his fecal matter.
He noses it already when I am there.
His obsessive barking is really annoying and pretty soon I may be hearing it from neighbors already.
I am lost, I thought they love being in crates.
The damned cat loves it more than Cobain does.
Help!

Try making the crate interesting & fun. Put a treat inside & let him enter to get it. Do it frequently over a couple of days. Also, put some of his favorite toys in with him. You could try a bully stick or stuffed Kong if he's not too young for them.

Okay I will give that a go. I am so glad I took a couple of days off to get Cobain acclimated. pheeww

Try a play pen. That's what I did with mine. Just place a bed and a potty pad. I also have a cat but the pups are not interested in the litter box. Buy him lots of toys and always keep him busy. I don't think any dog would like crates unless you make it a positive experience for them. Read all the stickies in the forum.

Play pen???? Wow I'm learning everyday. Having this breed is like having kids.
Just the other day I learned that you can feed them a half spoon of cottage with minced apples for a treat. I LOVE THIS!!!!

Make sure you get a play pen that he can't climb out of.
