[QUOTE="Emiiiex, post: 2563373, member: 872770"] Are you still ill? - He may want to be with you still if you are. If you are not, then it is just a temper tantrum; don't take him out of the crate when he is whining or he will think if he whines = he comes out the crate. Also, what is that dogs state when he goes into the crate? if he is hyper then he is going to feel trapped, = barking and excessive biting of the crate. Be sure he is drained before going in his crate, this is fro relaxing and a safe place for your dog. You could also use sound, if he starts to whine, make a sharp 'shh' sound then walk away, when he is calm bring him out the crate and reward him, this should work after a few tries *do this during the day, and work up the time he is there when quiet before you bring him out* And make sure he comes out when you say, not when the door is open, my 14 week old puppy will sit/lay in his crate until I ask him to come out, and he used to whine, cry, bite the cage and try to bark to come out. Also make sure your crate is big enough for your puppy to turn around stand/sit and lay down. however not to big. Good luck! EDIT! For the person saying about 'how bad crates are' they are better for dogs, they are den animals so there for a crate is perfectly safe for dogs if used properly. If a crate is used properly with a dog, then it becomes a safe place for them. [/QUOTE]
