How to stop my puppy from crying in his crate?!?!?

It depends how long have you had the dog? If it is under a week you have been doing this than it is perfectly normal for a few weeks. You should introduce him to the crate slowly, because if his previous owner did not crate him than he has no idea why he is in the crate or what the crate is. Try putting him in the crate for only a few seconds at first leave the room, if he starts whining ignore him until he is quiet even if it is only a minute, if you walk in and he starts crying again leave again until he is quiet. When he is quiet take him out and let him play a few hours later put him in it again.

Also have you tried putting a piece of clothing with your scent in the crate with him? If not I would highly recommend trying that, because if the dog has your scent on a piece of clothing he won't feel as lonely or scared. Also if he has a toy that is quiet and won't keep you up all night for bedtime or any of his favorite toys for when you are not home put that in the crate so he will have something to do and keep himself occupied.

Also your dog might have to go to the bathroom and is crying to tell you it doesn't want to pee in the crate. So make sure you take his food and water away at bed time and you take him out to go to the bathroom right before you put him in the crate.

By the way I commend you on crate training it is a very helpful tool.

Put the crate by the bed and leave a night light on so he can see you and be reassured you have not abandoned him. They need lots of reassurance at this stage. Play a soothing radio or cd until he goes to sleep. Put an old tee shirt with your scent on it. Don't engage him, it is normal to protest the crate. When you leave the house, say "not this time" and go. He is little right now, but when he gets a little older, practice leaving. Grab keys, jackets whatever, and pretend to leave. Say "not this time" and then pretend to leave and when he starts to protest, use a command like Settle down, and when he is good praise him. Do this as many times as it takes until leaving becomes 'no big deal. Stick with the crate training, it is the fastest method of potty training. Good job.

it fairly is fullyyt organic for a sparkling domestic dog to call out for somebody to come again while separated. puppies by myself in the wild does no longer stay to tell the tale with out this alarm equipment. subsequently all your new canine is doing is following instinct. the two in the nesting field or in the wild, a domestic dog learns very rapidly that when separated from the %., demands help will enable different contributors of the %. to rapidly hit upon him. If the domestic dog is extremely distressed and clearly upset, then i'll many times propose permitting it to sleep on your mattress room, yet interior an indoor kennel/crate. Then over a quantity of time flow the crate in levels to the spot the place you desire the domestic dog to stay case in point the kitchen. even though it particularly is taken into consideration necessary to have a play-pen besides because of the fact the crate with paper down in the playpen no longer THE CRATE so as that the canine can defecate and urinate. Shutting the crate door on an extremely youthful domestic dog may well be a entire disaster. it would desire to reason crate aversion and toileting issues, it fairly is going to truly reason rigidity. subsequently till the domestic dog is a minimum of twelve to 13 weeks previous i does no longer close the crate door in one day.

The first thing about crate training is that dogs will cry, and cry, and cry. You can place a blanket coated in your scent in the crate. I don't recommend anything else inside the crate because your pup could destroy it.

Place a radio or clock that ticks right outside the crate, and pray that works.

My dachshund boy just could not be placated, and I had to put up with the crying for a week. It is just something that has to happen. You can't go to the puppy, even to scold it, every time it cries because this will only teach it that Crying= you coming to it. Just ignore it the best you can, even though I know it is annoying as heck.

This is just another part of puppy parenting.

Well crying in their crate is pretty normal in the beginning especially at night, you have to ignore it, if you let him out when he cries he will only do it more often because he will learn the when he cries you come let him out.

Having said that what I would do is make sure you have something comfortable for him to lay on and put a bone to chew on in his crate as well. Then today put your puppy in his crate, give him a treat and close the door, if he doesn't start whining let him right back out, do this a few times and then slowly increase the time that you leave him in their, first few times just a few seconds, then a few seconds longer, then get up and leave the room and if he doesn't cry come right back in and let him out. Do this a few times a day, I would also feed him his meals in the crate, and when he starts looking really tired and is ready for a nap, put him in his crate with a treat and a chew bone. He should learn soon that the crate is a good safe place to be.

Good luck, and good job deciding to use a crate they are very useful eventually your dog will learn to like his crate!

If you were a baby and had been taken from your mother and left alone, you would cry all night. He has been left alone in a strange place; he is frightened, confused and miserable. There are lots of adult dogs who suffer all of their lives from separation anxiety; some of these dogs belong to the people who will tell you just to let your puppy cry. Please don’t listen and don’t leave him to cry, it's easy to resolve this and its kind. I agree that rushing to an older dog when it cries could create problems; the trick is to ensure that it does not start to cry when the puppy is put to bed at night.

Try this, it will work and both you and your puppy will have good nights sleep,

Spend the next two days of his life with you by conning him and having rehearsals for bedtime.

After he has been fed and CARRIED out to the garden for his pees and poos, let him wander around the garden, then put him in a room on his own with a comfortable bed. Close the door and then immediately go back into the room and IGNORE HIM. Spend a minute or two cleaning your work tops if he is in the kitchen, or pretending to be occupied with something else. Walk out again and close the door and walk back in again immediately. Keep doing this over and over again. Eventually you can leave a short gap before you go back into the kitchen, when you know that he is asleep you can stop doing this.

You must listen for him waking up and you MUST GET TO HIM BEFORE HE CRIES. Pick him up and CARRY him into the garden.

Play with him and let him explore the garden. If it's time for another meal, give him this and take him out again, because he will want another pee. (Always praise your dog profusely when he pees or poos outside). Then put him into his bed, close the door to his room and start doing the door thing over and over again.

This is time consuming, however it works. By the end of day one he will have been put to bed several times and he will think that you are just on the other side of the door. Continue doing this for a couple of days and he will grow up without Separation Anxiety and he will stop crying at night. My dogs have never had Separation Anxiety; I think that they think that I never leave the house. Nevertheless I sleep downstairs for the first two nights.

I have given this advice to several people and it has worked very quickly, I know this because I have had emails from them.

Good Luck.

try to confert him and give him some toys and treats to keep him ocupied try not to make that many sudden movements too or eat near him when he is in the crate i went through the same trouble with my TWO puppies it might not help HIM but email me at sami121299@gmail.com if you need more help because i cant think straight right now

PS

i LOVE the name koda and maybe when he is pottie trained and all he can sleep with you

give him something with your scent on it, like an old sock or shirt and leave it in the crate with him for comfort. Cuddly toys and blankets are also a good idea. Eventually, as long as you ignore the whinning, he will learn to stay calm while in the crate

Katie K. and kdolous(?) gave the perfect answer. It all boils down to patience and perseverance. When your home and he's not in his crate, leave the crate door open. Once he's used to the crate, he'll come to see that it's his own private place, his 'den' so to speak.

Give your puppy a treat or toy to keep them preoccupied. Also, sometimes putting a garment of clothing (that you dont mind if it gets ruined) that smells like you can help calm him. Maybe try keeping a light on for him when your gone, or turn on a TV for him to hear voices and feel at home? These are just som things that we with our dog and my grandma and her dog do to keep them quiet and happy.
