Crate/Puppy whining help!

frachina May 22, 2007 05:41 AM

Hello everyone, I am a new owner of a blue merle Aussie, he's awesome, but a handful. I've decided to use the crate method for some housebreaking methods, the crate stays in my room. But whenever I go to sleep he just whines and barks, I know I should leave him alone, but he will just bark all night, and rips up the blanket inside his crate. What should I do? Thanks in advance.

Let him whine. If he's really terrible, spray him with a squirt bottle of water. Give him a warning prior to doing it though to be fair to him.

For most dogs this lesson will be learned in 1 or 2 nights of no sleep for anyone. Just don't cave in and let him out!
