Your
puppy
will
learn to
whine or
bark
when
they
have to
go out,
which is
good.
If there
is
unnecessary
barking
and
whining
while in
the
crate,
keep a
stuffed
kong toy
in his
crate to
keep
your
puppy
occupied.
this
will
automatically
redirect
him to
something
good,
instead
of
barking.
When
your
puppy
does
bark and
won't
stop,
check to
see if
he has
to go
out,
needs to
eat or
needs a
drink.
If all
of these
things
are
taken
care of
and he
continues
to bark,
try
this.
Keep a spray
bottle
of water
on top
of the
crate.
Every
time
your
puppy
whines
or
barks
unnecessarily,
spray
him in
the
face
through
the bars,
saying
"ah
ah"
at the
same
time.
This
works
excellent
if done
consistently!
At
night, there
might be
a fight
at
first,
but
don't
worry,
he will
learn!
When I
am
house-breaking
a puppy,
I put
the
crate
beside
the
couch,
and
sleep
there
for the
first
few
nights
(so that
my
husband
can get
some
sleep!)
Remember
that
this is
a big
adjustment
for your
new
puppy,
expect
some
crying.
After
taking
him out
to
relieve
himself,
bring
your
puppy
in, and
put him
immediately
into the
crate
with the
treat.
Because
you know
that he
has used
the
bathroom,
you will
know
that he
just
wants
out if
he
cries.
Get
everything
you
need,
turn the
lights
off,
then do
not talk
to your
puppy,
not even
for
reassuring!
Talking
will
only
encourage
him to
make a
fuss.
Give him
a chance
to
settle
on his
own
first!
If
constant
crying
continues,
try
these
following
methods.
Every
time he
makes a
noise,
shake a
can that
has some
coins in
it. The
noise
will
startle
and
quiet
the
puppy,
and stop
the
whining.
If that
doesn't
work,
you can
use this
next
technique,
but with
caution!
Remember
that
he/she
is just
a baby.
Attach
the
leash to
the
collar
and
thread
it
through
one of
the
slots in
the
crate.
Keep
this in
hand
with the
lights
out,
do not
reprimand
or speak.
Right
when the
puppy
barks or
whines,
snap and
release
the
leash. I
had one
particularly
noisy
puppy
that
this
worked
great
on, just
be
careful
that you
don't
snap it
too
hard!
You will
be able
to tell
when he
is
settled.
Expect
him to
get up
and move
around
or cry to
go out
every
few
hours
the
first
few
nights.
These
times
will
grow
longer
and
longer,
until he
is in
the
crate
all
night
long,
and only
has to
go out
in the
morning.
