| crying puppy my puppy cries all night long. she sleeps during the day and cries at night in her crate. It's a big crate with plenty of room for toys and bed and food dishes. I play with her for about 1 hr before bed to wear her out but she still cries. she wants to be with my 1 year old yorkie who doesn't like her and growls and snarls at her. what to do ? |

| My three all sleep with us at night. When I introduced a new "little one" we always kept them zippered into a travel kennel between our pillows (we have a king size bed). They each had their own blanket and soft toy. It gave the babies a chance to see/smell their pack members, but kept them safe from falling out of bed. They also did not have the opportunity to disturb their big brother(s). They would settle right in, but we could hear them if they needed a potty break. A quick trip to the potty pad if needed, then zipped back in. When they grew big enough to trust on their own, we began to leave the zipper door open. They would usually sleep inside for some of the evening, then venture outside to settle in with one of the other dogs at first. Now they each have a small cuddle cup bed on our bed, and sleep in a row between us. The added benefit of training them in their small travel crates is that when we are "on the road" to visit grand kids, they will happily sleep inside if the occasion calls for it. They are soft-sided, zip inside each other to store, and everybody still has their original baby blanket and toy.

| Do you have the crate in your bedroom where she can see you. If not do that. At night she might be better off in a smaller crate just used for bedtime and just a bed in it. Starting out crate training can be tiring it’s important that if she cry’s you only take her potty and put her back in. No playing or responding in other ways to the crying or she will know it gets her attention and she will keep doing it.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Some dogs/animals are just never amenable to crate training due to that feeling of being confined/trapped in a small space. In addition, they're not used to being totally all alone at all; they're used to being curled up in a cozy little pack with their Mama and littermates. When ours were pups, we used an Iris Pen instead of crates and found those worked much better.

| Our little ones are pack animals. They like to be with others. Gidget has been sleeping with me since day 2. During the day she follows me from room to room and usually lays down on the floor when I'm busy. She just needs to be near me. Love her dearly and she is a real cuddle bug. Each Yorkie mom needs to do what is best in e very situation. There are no right or wrong solutions. It's whatever works and what you want the training to be. Just enjoy your little ones and love them to the moon and back. |

| Maybe rub something on that yorkie like a sock or toy and put in in bed with her (I've had a toy that had been rubbed by momma and a sock that had litter mates' scent). I also kept the kennel next to my bed, with a nice crate cushion and towel over the cage. She adjusted beautifully, lol but I didn't as I woke to her every movement ^^;. Maybe even add something that's got your scent too like an old shirt etc. I tend to create a "nest" for my girl and she has ever since loved/demand it. (she'll dig at her laying spot when it's too flat and she wants some raised areas). Granted, I created an area in front of the cage that was her "potty" area, maybe make an area at the opening that they can come out a little bit?

| Sorry to hear your pup is unwell. When you have concerns about your dog's wellness, I always going to recommend taking them to visit a vet. They're are the best for making a diagnosis (which needs to be done in person) and for recommending treatment. Hope they are feeling much better soon. |

| I agree with others that having them in the same room where you can be seen is vital. Once my babies go 'night night', I DO NOT pick them up or engage with them. Each has a blanket and a safe chew toy. Also, I have been super diligent to keep the same time, schedule, and activities at bedtime. I think this helps Riley (5 months) and Zoey (6 months) know that bedtime is approaching. This stage will pass before you know it--good luck and keep us updated! lpt |
