How to crate train a puppy at night whining | Cavapoo cavoodle puppy training 

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you so much!

Yep. And all playing stops. For some, I even have to turn my back to them. This is how I train all of my rescues and foster dogs.

Good luck!

Yes I realised that crate training her will help in the future even though there is some short term pain

Glad it was helpful!

How did you stop him barking when he is in!?

@@mudjahedjin HI i had to ignore the noises she made. When we don’t reinforce their noises by opening the crate they realise we wont get them out. They become used to it being a safe place and it is their bed. If they are too hyped, hungry or need the toilet it is best to do all those things first. If they make a noice after that, you can test by taking out to toilet, and if they do or don’t go, then straight back to crate…so they realise, they will be taken out, but can’t then get attention to play and be let out. It is like a child….take them to toilet, but it is not play time and not time for more tv etc. It worked. And during the day making the crate pleasant, but feeding in the crate and leaving the door open so they don’t see it as punishment.

@@Myminimalistlife_x Thank you very much. My 2 months old puppy hates it. I was patient enough and step by step i made him go in by himself. i didnt rush anything. Something happened and i had to leave the house...so as he was inside, i locked him in and left. 30 mins after i returned, and before i opened the door he was crying out loud...but really loud, like someone is killing him haha. i waited until he stayed quiet and then i opened the door. after that, he is really insecure about it and i dont know what to do. Thank you!!

Hi yes it takes a lot of times to do it. They will always want to be with us… but I have also always reinforced never saying hi when I get home and that has worked that they don’t jump up and they wait for their greeting. So I never said goodbye but out her in before I left with toys and a treat (although she never ate it until I got home) It’s the noise that makes me feel bad but they start to realise that it won’t help get them out until silent …

Sorry I didnt get back to you until now.I would make sure she is hungry, and I did it my way to she would do what I needed and saw it as a great treat.

Yes I think separation anxiety is hard for some dogs. I think as long as their crying is not rewarded they start to understand the rules

@@mustlovedogs8503 that's an interesting comment about 'not rewarding crying'. Three plus weeks in I'm trying to get Wanda, my Cavoodle pup to play in the backyard without me being out there. Sometimes she'll cry a bit but then go do something then come back about 5 minutes later. I might pick her up to comfort or reassure her but now I wonder if I'm rewarding bad behaviour. Your advice would welcome. Cheers 😘

OH yes, I was told to put them in the crate for 20 mins 5 times a day and ignore them, so they get used to it 😃

@@mustlovedogs8503 Do you cover your crate with the blanket when you leave her in there for 20 minutes

@@paulcipriano6548 I used to do that with Wanda and it settled her right down. Bloke distractions outside the crate.

Hi sorry for the delay. I went off the recommendation from a trainer, so that there are not a lot of carbs in the treat and more protein.

Sounds cute.

Hi Cavoodle mum with toy poodle dad ☺️

looks like 22inch

Yers I am not sure. I think when I got it, it was called medium
