Yup. I slept on the floor next to the crate and had to let her just stay in a play area. But night two was exponentially better, and it helped me focus on what I was going to start training right away!

Yeah I’m tired of waking up at 6am because he decided to throw a concert. We left him for seemingly forever, waiting for him to get tired of whining so we can go feed him and not reinforce the behavior. No, puppy had food, and just wanted to prevent good sleep.

Day 3 with my new husky puppy (oh boy) but I was warned that the Worst part about crate training is having to hear your puppy crying, and it's not mentioned enough, they're still babies and will always cry and make a show, specially if your puppy isn't even close to his first 3 months. Patience is key and remember it will all be worth it when they grow up!

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

We're wishing you lots of luck with your puppy, Sharpy! Make sure you check out the free digital New Puppy Starter Kit for even more help with your puppy at this time. Here's the link: howtotrainadreamdog.com

[@Proudpapa50]

Huskies are den dogs and tend to adhere to the crate as a safe and relaxing place. Our Siberian, Koda, naturally took to his crate without a whimper. Hopefully, your husky pup will do the same…Good Luck and congrats!!! Huskies are awesome dogs and love to interact, talk, and blow their coats, of course.

Hmm so it's like the olden days with babies - you let them cry out... No way that's healthy. Simply have the puppy with you in bed or next to you and very slowly introduce the crate. 🐕🤗

My 9 week old ShihTzu puppy cried pathetically for a half hour the first 2 nights in the crate last week. After that we decided to provide lots of physical activity for her before bedtime, and we put a large bath towel over the top of the crate. Now she doesn't cry or whine at all in the crate. She goes right to sleep for about 9 hours overnight.

[@toddinthemiddle]

the cover over the crate (in my home office) idea has been a big winner for my little black terror. puppy has even taken to the crate in my bedroom, so she now sleeps in there instead of on my bed (which wasn't yet an issue). pretty big thing for her to accept both crates, in general, but especially for when she is able to get up onto my bed on her own. can't have a curious puppy roaming free in my room while i'm passed out. there will come a day that i'll welcome this pup to sleep with me, but not until she's settled down. very glad that i found this vid!!

Tonight I'll definitely make sure she tires out and goes to the bathroom before she goes in the crate to sleep.

Noise cancelling headphones are awesome for this. Throw on some music or a podcast and fall asleep to that.

Meet all dog's needs prior to crating for the night (water, toileting etc), cover crate with blanket (allow for airflow, obviously) & place a Snuggle Pup toy with faux heartbeat activated (& heat pack if it's winter). Ignore cries/complaining at all costs, puppy will get the message before long.

I have an 8 week old mini goldendoodle pup that I got 2 days ago. Thankfully her breeder already had her and her siblings partially crate trained and on a schedule which has helped tremendously bringing her home. I cover her crate when I put her down for naps or for the night and have Alexa play ocean sounds for her and she does so well with no whining unless she needs to potty. I’m learning a lot with YT videos and her teaching me patience as well lol. I am definitely going to get a snuggle pup for her, I didn’t know those existed! She’s used to doubling up with a sibling at night, so that will be a huge comfort as opposed to her lamb chop stuffie

Our other two dogs were easy to crate train, but my new puppy has been a challenge. From your video I've realized it's because I've been doing everything wrong this time. I've had my 8 week old puppy for a week and starting the first night I had it lie in the bed beside me just so I could get some rest. I've been getting more and more tired until I've felt like giving the puppy back to the breeder--something that is totally out of character for me. I hope he's crate trained soon so I can get some peace and rest. I've put the puppy in its crate in a different room and he's yapping a lot. I hope he settles down.

After four days of hell, no sleep for me and my kids. The puppy making so much noise and crying he wants me there with him all night. He is 8 weeks and so much trouble. I watched this video yesterday and my boys also going away on a school holiday in the afternoon, I thought this is perfect timing and I decided to let him cry out and sleep by himself in his room downstairs. I heard him screening and making so much more trouble for a couple of hours but finally, he gave up!! 😅🤣 When I woke up this morning at 6 o'clock he is still sleeping in his bed no drama. What a wonderful result. Thank you so much. Finally, I'm sleeping again. Btw his name is Bali. “Spoodle!

My beagle pup about 5 months not even was already crate trained when we got her, so she has never had any accidents. When she is tired she will let out a little cry then lay down, but when she has just woken up from a nap and we put her in there, she barks and cries for a few minutes. Overall she is pretty good, and slept in my bed only a few nights. No troubles at all, in fact she slept all the way to our specified time in mornings which was amazing. I am putting her back in her crate these next few nights as I don’t want her to only think of the crate as a punishment the few times a day(I think she is getting too comfortable with my bed). Later we will leave her crate door open and let her choose, but I really want her to be as comfortable as possible with her crate, and make sure she knows as a good place. Nice video 👍

My puppy cried it out on her first night with us for about 15-20 minutes. Surprisingly, it didn't bother me when trying to sleep. She then was quiet till around 4am and cried for about 5-10 minutes. And then was quiet till around 6am. This is when I normally get up so I waited for stop cringe and I let her out and we went outside immediately. There have been a few accidents but I think she is getting it. That first morning out though...I had her outside for 30 minutes - why she didn't go is beyond me because within 2 minutes returning into the house, she went poo. Her second night in the crate was almost no crying at all. She slept through the night and I was beginning to think something was wrong - but she was fine. We just started putting her into the crate more often yesterday (her her 3rd day with us). We would put her into the crate after play and after bathroom breaks. We also only allow her to eat when we eat. I hope all this will bring an eventual resolution to potty training. For my previous German Shepherd, I don't remember much. When she was about 2.5 years old, both my husband and I had to go out of the country on separate deployments. I got back first and then my husband. I believe she developed separation anxiety because of this just looking at her face each time we would leave the house after that. Well, I tried crating her again when I got back and she managed to get out of 3 different crates. I didn't want her to hurt herself so the crate idea became history at that point. Good luck to all who are going through this with a beautiful new puppy.

[@Lemonade20016]

Thank you for this video! I am glad people like you make these instructions clear for crate training. I've seen far too many dogs with terrible separation anxiety because they were always attached to the owner's hip at home and at night, and crate training is really just the best way to help them settle, gain independence and confidence, and provide them a safe place when they are unsure of something/someone new in the home. Your videos have helped me prepare for my dog to come home for the last few months :)

[@JF-ub5lq]

I tried all these methods but my dog absolutely loses their mind. They don't just cry and whine, they absolutely loses their mind and scream and bite the cage and throw their body against the wall.

[@truegrizzlesfan2292]

@@JF-ub5lq Any updates?

[@montykoolaid]

@@truegrizzlesfan2292 she's a crate trained dog now lol. But we had a foldable pen for a few months attached to her crate so she could leave the crate and just be in the locked up pen area still. She stopped being so scared of the crate and started sleeping in it after we weren't forcing her into it. The pen attached to the front of the crate and the door "opened" into the pen if that makes sense. And she still had enough room in the pen to not feel like she was being locked up, and would walk into her crate to sleep. After a few months we removed the pen and it was just the crate and now she will go in it and just sleep and hangout or chew a toy until we come back home.

[@4EverInLove214]

Yes. A free video at that! So wonderful.

[@jennyrobertson]

@@JF-ub5lq I have a screamer, too. It sounds like I'm skinning her alive. We did a crate reset--switched to a wire crate from a plastic one, placed it where she was naturally going to feel like she's in the center of things, and are just loading value with meals, snacks, and chew-able items. Sometimes she chills in the crate, sometimes in front of it. I haven't shut the door yet because I'm worried about undoing all this value-building. Putting the pen around the crate might be just the ticket. But, she also was screaming in the pen, so I'm nervous. I don't want to create separation anxiety!

[@colin1321]

Gonna give it a shot!! Wish me luck. EDIT: First full night of sleep in a week following these tips. It's the way we set up the crate as described in this video! Thank you. That said she woke up with the most puppy energy ever. Quite hard to manage her. 😕

[@carolstephens5484]

Same here . It is annoying.hope he gets used to being on his own soon. Been on bed at night . Going to try crate in bedroom later, but I do not think it will stop him yapping.

[@satmorning18]

I lay on a couch that he can’t see me on. I only do this because I have to wake up every 3 hours to let him out and it’s easier. He is 10 weeks old

After familiarizing our Belgian Malinois pup with his crate, he would yelp for between 7 and 30 minutes when put there for his bedtime at night. Now, we still woke up twice a night to take him outside to use the "bathroom". But, he still would yelp when put inside. We finally put the crate in my home office, which happens to be sound-proofed (makes it easier to hold Zoom meetings for work). After that, it was not a problem. He would yelp and we did not come over to "rescue" him. After a while, he got used to it and he no longer yelps when inside the crate. Of course, we make sure he is well fed, hydrated, and exercised by 7pm. After this, it is time for him to unwind and get ready for bed.

[@kevino.agosto1010]

Rescued a Belgium Malanois recently and I've never had a pup cry for so long. I've always had a pittie home and this is my first "other breed" dog and boy does she cry.

[@bruno-thebelgiummalinois8498]

Bro..can we connect somehow.. I want ask few queries..I'm fed up with my BM puppy

[@EL_toads]

Saaaaame. We took in a 6 month old bm and we're doing all these things. She wasn't crate trained. She will literally bark ALL night long. We are on our 3rd week. I don't know what to do. I feel so defeated

[@Gabagool101]

First night puppy slept with me. I feel that’s okay to get her comfortable. Now second night in the crate. She was wailing for 30 minutes like she was attacked. Now she’s finally quieted down after using all these tips :)

You are a lifesaver. I haven't slept in 2 days after rescuing a street puppy. I had done everything except backing the crate to the wall and exercise before bed. Got her an actual puppy bed instead of a blanket and backed the crate to the wall and bam. 60 seconds of hard whining, 5 minutes of quiet crying and she was out. Thank you!

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

We are so happy to hear your success story! Best of luck to you going forward!

Oh jeez...we put our new Golden puppy in the crate the first night. His crying broke me and my husband's hearts so I went and brought him into our bed...all better! Then, about two hours later, my son snuck into our room and stole him to take him to his bed. One spoiled dog from the very start. 😉

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

It's hard to hear the crying, and we don't recommend the cry it out method. But if you're not there already, you're going to want the crate to get through some of the tough phases like teething or adolescence. We have a new video that can help you with some new crate training techniques to help your dog love it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWHVXnhph5iLipY

[@motzoh]

Excellent. Puppy has been great in his crate at night. Terrible in the day (we're on day 5). I made sure all his needs were met, tried to ignore, he still scraped at door and barked, cried, on and on until I would cave in, wait for a pause and let him out into pen. Watched this vid today, covered his crate with a sheet and tucked him in crate. After 20 min of crying he is finally settling. I think the sheet did the trick, makes sense because we do the same for our babies and ourselves: dim the light. Terrific analogy to the crib BTW. You have a great channel, thanks!

I just learned that my puppy should have a meal on occasion in his crate. He does very well sleeping in his crate all night with very little whining. I also learned from you to log potty times and take him out on a schedule. Thank you

Great info! I will be letting puppy cry it out next time. Thanks for confirming I'm on the right track. I think dad's have more "immunity to puppy whimpering noises" Just like our two human children they know how to manipulate your feeling from an early age. The confidence and wisdom to know you've done the practical things and the puppy needs to learn how to behave is freeing. Thanks again 👍

[@HowToTrainADreamDog]

Thank you for your feedback! Remember to positively reinforce the behavior you want to see more of! Stay tuned.

I'm awake at 3am but its a normal hour for his late night/early morning routine potty outing. First puppy and I definitely wasn't about to be losing sleep (or a lot of it) so I did my research and found these videos. Extremely helpful tools. So far so good. Now...if only my brain would stop thinking I still hear puppy barking before he soothes himself back to sleep. 😆
