Stop Puppy From Crying in the Crate - Crate Training Tips

I’m watching this at 3 something in the morning on day one of the puppy being with us 😭

When my puppy started to cry I looked at my noise canceling AirPods and said,"I love you."

Who else watching this at 4 am cuz they’re puppy won’t stop barking and crying

my puppy SCREAMS so loud i think she awakes the whole neighbor hood

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!

Thank you for the Tips. I find out what I have missing. Bedtime schedule: 1. tired the puppy out, 2. potty 3. no stimulation, dark 4. if the puppy is crying, no rewarding, let her cry out. 5. put on music

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.

I thought I was doing everything wrong by letting my pup just cry even after she’s exercised and relieved but this is good to know. I have noticed her crying time has decreased

4 month old puppy (new to us) wouldn’t stop whining (first time in crate). Did this and we’re IMMEDIATELY grateful! THANK YOU!!! Puppy calming sounds on YT, wide cardboard piece for crate top & old brown sheet. LIFE SAVER!

I realized what I’ve been doing wrong and I’m excited to finally get my puppy to stop crying 😭

My friends thought putting my dog in a crate was cruel .. at first... NOW they see it is ESSENTIAL

It's so reassuring seeing comments with everyone else experiencing the same thing. My girlfriend and I were at our wits end because we were worried that leaving our 3 month old border collie to cry it out would cause anxiety - but we've just watched this video and started his crate training in the early afternoon. Expecting a noisy night tonight but hopefully this pays off! (We're also going to buy some ear plugs, chocolates and write a note for our neighbours :p)

currently listening to this while my puppy is crying. my heart is breaking man I hope it works :(

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!!

Thanks so much for sharing this vid, SO useful!

getting a third dog in 2 weeks and still learning. this will be our 4th Shih-Poo. We now will have 3 ShiPoos one, 4, one 2 and one 8 weeks. Always love watching these videos!

Great advice! Thank you for posting these guides. Totally changed the dynamics for our puppy. He now relaxes in his crate, and went from hourly crying to once last night for a poo and wee. Literally saved our sanity!!

Thanks for your help!!! My dog is now in the crate in the room next to my room. We got him 3 weeks ago and on the first day he was barking sooo much but then ignored it and now I still ignore it and it has gotten better! He doesn’t bark that much anymore at night!!! He is getting used to the crate by himself because he needs to learn to be by himself. When he’s older he will be in my room with a dog bed.

Sooo glad I found this on time. Very helpful thanks!!!

OMG, I'm glad I watched this video! I just got my puppy Friday and the first two nights, she would sleep, but wake up and then pee. I put her in the crate last night and besides needing to pee and poo, she slept for three hours. Which is good start for me. Tonight I'll definitely make sure she tires out and goes to the bathroom before she goes in the crate to sleep.
