Crate Training 4 mth old puppy

[ginagt]

Sounds like you are doing everything you should be and you are well on your way to sucessful crate training. I think what you need now is time and patience. Your puppy is new and needs time to adjust. Good luck.

MY SISTER PUT THE CRATE IN HER BEDROOM SO HER DOG WOULD BE WITH HER AND NOT ALONE. SHE WOULD TAKE THE PUP OUTSIDE BEFORE BEDTIME TO POTTY AND THEN THEY WOULD GO TO BED. IN THE MORNING SHE WOULD DO THE SAME THING AGAIN BEFORE GOING TO WORK. IF YOU HAVE A YARD OR A DOG RUN, YOU CAN LEAVE THE PUP WHEN YOU GO TO WORK WITH SOME TOYS AND CHEWS. THE PUP WILL GET USE TO THE ROUTINE. MY PUP SLEEPS WITH ME SINCE SHE WAS 12 WEEKS OLD. THAT IS BECAUSE SHE IS A CHIHUAHUA. THEY LOVE TO SLEEP IN BED UNDER THE COVERS. CHIHUAHUAS ARE GREAT!

GOOD LUCK!!
