How Can I Stop My 5 Month Old Puppy’s Screaming When Put In Kennel At Bf’s House For Nighttime?
Filed under Care & Training Q&As
5 mo. house trained Havanese. It took about 2 mo. for her to not cry & learn to be kennel trained for sleeping at my house- she’s an angel there now.
When I go to my BFs, she LITERALLY SCREAMS when we put her in her kennel at night. I bring the same 1 she uses from home to BF’s place. I’m at his home 2 weekends/month for 1-2 nights. His bedroom is upstairs & we put her in the 1st fl. dining room. B/c we have allergies/asthma, she can’t sleep in our bed. I would also prefer that she/the kennel weren’t in the bedroom at night so we have1 safe-zone. Also, it doesn’t seem worth it since during the 1st wks I put her/ the kennel in my bedroom at night and she still cried, so I moved her to another room in the apt and ignored the cries (unless I thought something was wrong).
I think she might be a crier in general – if she’s not in the same room as me, she cries/screams but doesn’t destroy things-but not at night in kennel anymore.
Any suggestions? PLS HELP me make my pup&BF happy!
I Have A 11 Week Old Havanese/shih Tzu And I Am Trying To Kennel Train Him, Am I Doing Anything Wrong?
Filed under Care & Training Q&As
I have had him for 8 days.
so i put him in there at night when we are sleeping, i wake up once through the night to take him out to go pee, and he has been doing ok with that for the last 2 nights.
in the morning (5:30am) i take him out first thing and he goes pee and i praise him.
i bring him down for a nap around 11am for 2 hours and that’s when the crazy barking happens, i give him a bone or something to chew on and he has a toy, he plays and pee’s b4 he goes in.
then i take hime out to go pee + praise and then around 6:00pm i put him back in for 1 hour, after lots of play and cuddles through the day.
then bedtime is usually around 10:30 and then we start all over again.
He barks alot during the day but only a little bit through the night. (he did bark lots through the night b4 but it’s gotten better)
I feed him three times a day and i make sure he has poo’d b4 i put him in the kennel. So am i doing everything ok? is it going to stop soon? will he ever be kennel trained?
