[QUOTE="doglover, post: 2149499, member: 217110"] It really depends on the dog, my pup cried when he was first put into his crate but this was also the first night he was home. He settled down after a while and it did take a few weeks for him to realize crate=secure place and now he's fine. The only time he whines is when he has to go out and is in his crate, or he hears someone and he's not near them. You could keep the dog in your room in her crate. :) That helps a lot. Ignore the whining though, unless it wakes up and starts, then it probably has to go out to pee, also make sure to take her/him out to pee before putting her/him in the crate. It shouldn't go in the crate if it's the right size. It should be big enough that she can sit up in and move around in, but not large enough to pee or poop. I would suggest getting a crate that would fit your dog at full size that has a divider in it so you can expand it as he/she gets bigger. That way you're not paying money for more crates as it gets bigger. Also, keeping your puppy on a schedule will help out a lot. My pup got used to when my sister got up to take him out weekday mornings but it took him a bit longer to realize on weekends, he sleeps in. Now he knows on weekends do not disturb until at least 9. :P Try to get the pup at least 8 weeks. [/QUOTE]
