How To STOP Your Puppy Barking, Crying and Howling at Night!

[@mammabint5047]

Literally 1st night setting... thanks yr vid has given me a boost to stay consistent & firm ... the whinings already subsided while watching. Fingers crossed x

[@funkyflips5388]

I breed Spoodles. I do ENS with them. I socialise them from about 4 weeks old, in my car, in a puppy pram to new streets with more traffic, smells, noises. We go to other family members places with dogs, friends places with other puppies, they go to my groomers at 4 and 8 weeks old. I don’t send them to their new families until at least 9 weeks old, I find that extra week really helps their independence. They go with a blanket with their littermate and Mum’s scent on it and a favourite toy. My new puppies families are amazed at how confident and easy they settle in. If you start with a good foundation you set your puppy up for success Thank you for your videos, from 🇦🇺

[@dapezent]

First night for me. I have pup in the ensuite with a small table across the doorway so I can enter and exit, plus be heard. Pup yelped and cried for ten minutes. Sleeping like a baby. Can hear the little fella dreaming. I’ll do this for three days, then off to the laundry for a couple days, then finally, in the living room. Wish me luck!

So last night was my first quite night from my 14 weeks old Weimaraner…. I did stage one for the first night and he’s was crying and going for it and his with 2 other dogs.. was really hard not to tell him to stop but I did it and we both had a good night last night Thank you 😊

@@cynybae got to be hard on your self and don’t not go in when your puppy is crying or barking or that will tell her it’s ok to carry on .. mine was barking for my daughter earlier morning.. so I said right I,m taking over fully… I have a Weimaraner puppy and cling as hell .. so I,m training him to be independent.. make sure your puppy is ready in bed most of your evening and keep play time for the day .. and I leave him when his snoring 💤 and no eye contact or talking to him and playing my radio all night for him working .. use your if you have too lol 😂 maybe a dog teddy for bed too ..

[@jillmcentee8104]

Hi, I have found your videos so helpful which training my dog, and would love a video on stopping dog whining during a walk. Ever since my dog was a puppy he has whined excessively while on a walk. I cannot tell if it's due to excitement or anxiety (he's also a puller, which we are working on). He will sometimes literally whine so much on walks that it almost turns into a howl. He is not being injured or in pain in any way from his gear (we have literally tried all different types of leads and harnesses, etc. and talked to his vet to be sure it's not something physical). It can be difficult walking him for this reason, and we have tried a few strategies with little to no success. Most of the advice I got when he was younger and I would bring it up to people was that he would grow out of it over time as he learned to walk better on the leash (which was not helpful advice, obviously). He is now a year and a half. I would love to see a training video of strategies to use in a situation such as that as I have not found many resources for this type of behavior. Thanks for your consideration!

[@BlackBeltBarrister]

Answered my question perfectly, thanks!

[@shader26]

Ours is now 4 months old. We’ve had her for 2 1/2 months. We did go through the crying and whining at night period. We would go out when she was between barks/crying and not say anything, go out and sit a little ways away from her, not comforting but just she saw we were there (one at a time obviously, it was usually me) and then one night...we slept through the night all of us. This went on for a few weeks. We were so glad. Suddenly two nights ago she is back to square one. We tried letting her bark herself out, but she simply doesn’t. She winds herself up, gets so frantic that even when I finally come out (again waiting for a pause in the action) after hours she won’t calm down. Is this anxiety? Why now? We are at wits end. I feel that also she is so bonded with my wife, her actions seem to point to its not enough to have me there, she NEEDS to get into the bedroom where my wife is sleeping (since she usually takes the day shift with the puppy...) and is totally focused on that. What can we do.

Same with my puppy! Same age too! I know you posted your comment a year ago, but if you ever found a solution I would be so interested to hear it. I’m at my wits end too!

[@shader26]

@@PippiOnePointOh hey, i think its like breaking a code. It lasted a while. We had a ritual, where i would gave her some treets she lover when it was her bedtime. It became a ritual we still do. But some things that helped, moving away from her caged area, but with the tv on, sitting or laying on the couch, which is out of sight but she can hear I’m there. Later on she started getting used to it, and now needs her alone time in her area. Just don’t give up, and it will pass I think. We also were better before about putting her in her area for small periods at first then up to an hour or so during the day when we saw she was tired. We had a camera there, so we could gauge when to either just say “go lie down” or if it was time to let her out before she got anxious. Also I spent time with her in her cage area playing, doing games with treats, play with toys, and hiding treats around there and letting her find them. In her actual cage (we always leave the door of that open) would hide treats in the bedding. It all helped. Our dog is still hyper vigilant.but getting better. We did find out, trial and error and reviewing the camera footage when we left her alone (very seldom, covid dog, we need to do more) that we simply still cannot keep her in her cage area when we are away. She gets so frantic she can hurt herself. She gets like manic, panicked, has dangerously hopped over her fence, we didn’t think possible. But then we found out, she is perfectly content as long as she has the run of the house when we are away. Lays by the front door, sleeps, or if we are away a while, goes and lies on the couch. We decided not to push that. Every now and then she gives a bark or two early in the morning now, but it’s really only when she has to pee. If we didn’t insure she did enough before putting her to bed for the night. Good luck, I remember it feeling like it would never work out, but it does.

[@PippiOnePointOh]

@@shader26 thank you SO MUCH for responding to me, even after all this time. I am definitely going to keep trying and implement some of the things you mentioned. It’s kind of strange because most people in the comments for these puppy videos say that their dog is calm as long as they can see their people. Indiana (my pup) is totally opposite; he goes berserk if he’s in his crate and he can see me nearby. If I’m out of eyeshot, he still barks, but it’s not as frenzied. It’s hard though because, as much as I’d love to let him have the run of the house while I’m gone, I absolutely do not trust him to stay out of trouble. At his age, he’s still chewing on things he shouldn’t and getting into all sorts of mischief, and that’s with me in the house! I will keep at it, though. I just needed some assurance that someday it will get better.

[@yojannagarcia1747]

I just found your videos and they're amazing! I have a 4 miniature labradoodle. I'm so tired. He has a playpen and we place it in the room and place him inside so he can sleep next to us but not on our bed. Yet after 1 month, he's still whining and barking loud. I just don't know what to do, I don't want to give him up, but he refuses to sleep at night and balls all night. Watching your video gives me a little hope.

[@marklinford145]

All of my pups in the past, I have given them a bed with a scent blanket from mum, thrown some puppy pads down and left them until morning if they cry they cry it gets better quickly. I remove pads so after a couple weeks only one remains and by then they are more or less able to go all night without the toilet mess in the morning. I get the idea of the crates but they mean you have to get up on the hour all through the night to let them out as they are locked in the thing and will get stressed if they have to go to the toilet in the crate. Many people are not able to let their dogs out every hour throughout the night until they are old enough to hold on until morning. My missus wants to try the crate but I don’t see the point changing what has worked for us all our lives.

Curious about how you progressed. I brought home an 11 week old XL bully last week. Similarly he was really chilled out for a few days. Barely barked ever, very calm and didn't whine much. He has since started whining more and more in the last few days. Tried the tricks in these videos originally but he has regressed a lot.

[@303rdtv5]

@@stephenhughes4 most of it is boredom it seems for my dog is she really want to be next to me and part of the pack, keeping the crate close and gradually moving it further is working and also a command word for the whining cause my dog doesnt get tired of barking or whining... one challenge I've ran into is trying to make the crate not seem like a bad thing.. toys, small games of hide and seek with the treats, has kind of curbed it a bit... but I see exercise is and playtime before night really does the trick for my dog she's out every night if I don't miss that time

Hi Will, do you think these techniques would work with an older dog? I'm adopting a 10 year old dog and I want her to sleep in the spare bedroom where my dog has his bed and sleeps. I personally don't like dogs in my own bedroom or on my bed. The problem is, the new dog is very attached to her owner and has always slept in her bedroom, all be it in her own bed. I have known this dog all it's life and walk her most days as her owner is elderly, so it's not like she is a stranger to our home or family. But I still worry that she's going to kick off big time if not allowed to sleep in my bedroom. What do you think would be the best approach here?

Mitzy is doing well, she will be 12 in a couple of months and she did settle in with me very nicely. It was difficult at first for her to adjust, but we stuck with it. I put an item of clothing from her owner into her bed for comfort, and that definitely seemed to help. She was quite unsettled for a few nights, so I just reassured her that she wasn't alone once or twice throughout the night Now she trots off to her bedroom with my dog every night, and they both look like a right spoilt pair with their very own room.

On the first night, I put my puppy in the worst place in my house. Which is the laundry room located outside the house. She cried all night because it was cold, dark, and lonely. The next night, I put her in the initial place she would sleep every night; my living room. Also, I planned to sleep on my couch bed a few nights until she was fully potty trained. So, my living room is cozy, not lonely, or dark. Basically, she was grateful that she wasn't going to end up in the laundry room, so she never cried at night and slept through the night. My puppy is now 10 weeks old and now sleeps in her crate with the door open. She has never cried at night ever since her first night. I say relax, and she knows she has to go in her crate and not come out. Never have I ever hit her to teach her things. I just followed all the recommendations I learned from you. Oh, my pup is a Cane Corso mix Great Dane. She is super intelligent 😍 Because my Mocha looks like Mable, I decided to watch all your videos so that I could raise my dog like yours though i wasn't expecting that turn of events.

He has his bed some toys a Teddy and puppy pads if he needs to do his business. Fingers crossed the night goes well 🤞. Oh he's started again... We have sat in the room with him to get him to like this room and left it open so he can go freely to the room when and if he wants... Hes quiet again. Will just see what happens. Thank you for this video. Going to try get comfy on the couch. Im right next to his room as i cant relax leaving him in thereand going to bed. Maybe tomorrow if all goes well i will shut the door next time think that would have bern a better idea idk.

[@xavierisbetter1354]

Do I let them go to the bathroom at night even when crate training

[@theguertinfam7945]

So when they’re in their crate and in the middle of the night crying do I stay in bed until they stop crying or do I get up go out to her crate and wait until she stops crying to let her out?

[@sanjaysaravanan706]

Wait for it to stop crying and and approach the dog.

[@chrisbrown_coaching]

How often should I get up yo let the puppy go toilet at night. Our puppy is 9 weeks old?

[@oddwoodpecker3861]

How do you no when to let puppy out when they’re quiet ? Is there a set amount of times per night?

[@willathertoncaninetraining]

Hey Stephanie, thanks for watching! We have a video looking at what to do overnight with toilet training you might find really helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpLHYp-CZc6sY68

Il try this from tomorrow. 8 week of Pitbull wont sleep , its 3am🤧

[@willathertoncaninetraining]

Hope it goes well!

[@welshmaverick]

what if they are crying to go to the toilet?? our puppy cries in the daytime when she is with us to go to the toilet... how do u know if it's just barking for attention or wanting the toilet??

[@amandadagnall1741]

My puppy goes crazy when I leave the room and barks so in a night I go through a routine and she’s used to her crate but she goes ballistic and soils and is in a state of panic. I’m at a loss to know what to do and I’m so upset

[@JustADogLover396]

I agreed with you up until the point you said " you can keep them next to your bed for a few nights, don't let them on your bed though" (something along those lines) I understand your very experienced, but what is a dog if you can't cuddle it at night? What is a dog if you don't let it snuggle on your couch or bed? It's not a true companion if you don't let you dog sleep with you. Obviously I fully agree with your actions, in fact I will probably ignore the dog when is whines. But when it's potty trained, I will want it sleeping with me. Of course it'll have its own crate, it can sleep wherever.

[@willathertoncaninetraining]

It's totally personal preference, we'd recommend to teach your dog manners so they wait until they are told they are allowed on the furniture but it completely up to you on where they sleep 😊

[@scarlettcipro3746]

My grown pitty has recently been whining while sitting with me for the past couple months and I need it to stop. Please help

[@amandadagnall1741]

Tried the heart beat puppy. She wasn’t interested at all. Put one of my t shirts in and a cuddly toy nope that’s not worked. Dog music lots of exercise. I’m at a loss she’s now 13 weeks so five weeks in and we’re no further forward

Guess DD 6

[@janmargaret7972]

I wish I had got a crate, I have used one before, years ago. I made the mistake of letting my labradoodle puppy sleep on her bed in my bedroom for the first month. She gets up in the night to ask to go out which is very good I know but now she has started jumping up at the side of the bed and when I take her our she doesn't do anything. I' m not getting any sleep. I live in a bungalow and I decided to put her in the utility room with a baby gate. She is howling and crying as I am typing this😬. I think I am in for a bumpy ride. Wish me luck.

[@willathertoncaninetraining]

You've got this!

[@janmargaret7972]

Update ...... I am very happy to report after a bit of whining for the first couple of hours, I did not give in and she went quiet😍. I had the best nights sleep for a month. 😀 I got up early and took her for a walk and a play in the field. I like your channel and the fact that you get to the point. Next job lead training. Thank you.

My 3yr old dog sleeps with my son cause my son couldn't sleep in his room alone so a doctor gave us the idea to just let his dog sleep with him. Our new puppy a Yorkie now is going to sleep with our daughter win-win 😂 Except the potty training is driving me crazy

[@chrisgleesonx]

I have my puppy almost 2 months and only now he is starting to bark at night. We live between 2 houses with children so don't want to leave him barking. Has anyone else experienced this?

[@YasukeNakamoto]

Dealing with this now. He was fine until now 1 month in and now he’s barking the whole time I’m gone and my neighbors are complaining

[@lorievem]

What if there’s another dog in the house (who sleeps in bed with you) and barks back?

[@Alex16Sansom]

What happens if the puppy cries if they want to go out to the toilet during the night? Are we reinforcing bad behaviour by going to them to let them out when they’re making noise? We don’t want any accidents in the crate!

[@willathertoncaninetraining]

Hey Alex, thanks for watching! We actually uploaded a video last week looking at toilet training and covers nighttime too, you might find it helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4u7qH5-ZaqreM0

You can still train them and use out tips but it might just take a little longer 😊

Omfg my german shepherd is crying idk what to do she just runs around the house and crying

I took the softest approach..he slept in my arms until his very end.

[@proft7211]

That was my question. Why not just let the dog on the bed with you? I love to snuggle up with my precious dogs in bed. Is there something inherently wrong with letting the dog on the bed with you?

@@proft7211 if you Like It, no problem. But not everyone likes a dog in Your bed

[@Stu81]

@@proft7211 depends on how you look at it, it can be very beneficial to the dog to be taught to be independent especially with sleeping arrangements, sometimes things happen in life and a sudden change in a dog's routine (like sleeping with its owner) can be very stressful for them, it's nice to snuggle with your dog but it has it's disadvantages for the dog itself but for some especially family homes that are very social where the dog has many different people they feel comfortable with then it's less of an issue but for say a single person who then gets into a relationship might find the dog can struggle to accept to new situation so there are many things to consider but I personally think teaching a dog to be independent will be a bigger benefit to the dog but it's totally a personal choice.

[@DanceeDancer1]

I think my dog hates me and our bond isn’t as strong because of crating. He isn’t as close to me as I’d like him to be but then again i got him three weeks ago and he’s now 11 weeks

[@kekkelpenneypeckeltoot5700]

How about a whiny 9 month old? I mean whiny whenever not right near us? He does great going into his crate at night but duringvthe day!!! If we are in the back and i shut the dence to work the garden patch, he can see me but screams his bloomin head off. Same going to the bathroom and shutting the door and on and on. Thanks

[@haileyrodriguez9096]

My 6 week old puppy does the same thing, we even have a little playpen and yet he still screams and howls. He has to be with us at all times and it’s also very stressful when we try to sleep.

[@gdibenedetto9877]

I hate the kind that don't use a dog as demonstration. I looked at so many videos on KZbin tried to help me with my problems with my dog the people that just sit there and talk blah blah blah blah without actually showing with the animal what they're talking about, is completely useless to me. Demonstrations are helpful that's why I'm watching KZbin and not just reading something on the internet. Duh

[@empressah888]

There are much better ways and videos on how to do this without breaking their spirits. A crate, if used, should have happy, calm and stress free associations. And you can do this over time, and let a new dog or puppy sleep peacefully with you at the start. If you can’t take at least some days off work and dedicate this time to settling in a dog or puppy in their new home with you, then don’t adopt a dog yet.

So not necessary. Rediculous. But then again the British raise their human babies like this. Very fond of their Victorian style. I like this channel for many training tips for difficult challenges but for the youngest pupps he sounds just like Cezar Milan. I guess men just dont understand that dogs just like humans grow up eventually and if you let them and don't baby them as the grow beyond that, they'll have other needs, preferences by nature. My dogs alway had free access. Regardless of breed and age. They all grew out of being needy at night and some chose to put themselves to bed early in another space than mine (to not be disturbed/awoken by me). All of them liked a morning snuggle in bed, bc that's where they started efter leaving 5-9 littermates, mom and sometimes cousins, etc. They grew out of it. Naturally.
