My 5.5month old puppy still barks in his crate at night. He isn’t scared, he’s pottied (pooped and pee’d) and has had water (but not too much). Any ideas why, and how to fix? He’s crated at night, crate covered, in a quiet room.

My son bought his dog one of those teddy bears with a heartbeat. The dog crates with it on every night.

My dog hated this. One day we woke up and he had ripped out the heartbeat device and kicked it outside of the crate 😂

He wants to sleep with you ❤️

I posted a link above of a crate training video. I’m currently using that with my new pup. He’s only 9 weeks old. But the first couple of nights were sleepless, not gonna lie. He’s finally starting to realize that the crate means bedtime and he might whimper for 5-10 minutes or so before he knocks out cold. You’ll get there but it definitely can be frustrating. Just last week he would chew on the crate and try to climb it like a mad man.

Try teaching him a crate command and rewarding it with a high value treat. Then the crate is not a punishment, but part for his job/part of the game.

Does he only bark at night when in his crate or every time he’s in his crate? If only at night, he may have some extra energy that needs to be burned off, followed by a last potty session for the night.

He may have separation anxiety and doesn’t do well with crates… Agree with the others on exercising him alot before he goes in there. Certain dogs can’t be trained unless their minds are totally relaxed like post exercise

Is he teething? Maybe give him smoothing cold/soothing to chew on to see if it helps at night.

My pup was the same way. I had to move her crate next to my bed and put my hand down so she knew I was there and she would stop crying

Pupdate: he barks until I go into his room and pull him out (potty break typically - he doesn’t have to go usually). He’ll stop after that.

I guess he’s anxious because he’s afraid of being alone.

I am wondering if I can do this. It feels daunting but also I’ve accepted an offer from another company but don’t know if it is what I want but I think I also don’t feel comfortable in my current situation. I wonder how long I could maybe do this but not sure.

HELP!!! Fostering a dog who is very loving and mostly obedient at home but barks and growls at strangers viciously. Knew this before she came in but I really want to help her. Feel like this aggression is the roadblock to finding her forever home. I try to use techniques I read and watched but my voice gets drowned in her barks and she has too much muscular power for her to feel any tugs. (Contd..)
