Both our dogs love their kennels now, even though they are in them a lot during the week. I'll catch them sleeping in it all the time with the door open when we are home.
First night we took our first puppy home he was wimpering/yelping pretty bad. I covered the the crate beside our bed and everytime he made a noise I hit the top of the cage. After the first night he never made a sound.
went from this.....
to this....
It's all good sux not having her but i'll get another one, that's really all i wanted from her so to spite me she kept the dog. well i said an hour because after a bit she knocked out and went to sleep (food coma) then she'd wake up and be ready to play. damn you have a mastiff as well? pics of both!
Im not fond of the smack the crate deal. A squirt bottle works just fine and after a few times they see the bottle they know they're doing wrong. No squirt needed. It works well inside and outside the crate and doesn't shock the shit out of them. Loud noises that only occur in the crate can shy a timid dog from using it as intended by crate training.
