got our puppy....

sorry, havent had time to take pictures yet but i will be trying to post them soon.


got a few questions for those that use the cage...


last night my husband selpt next to her, he put her in the cage and after a few minutes she started crying and yelping, she stopped after about 10-15 minutes and went to sleep. he took her out at 3 hours i think and she used the bathroom outside. then he put her back in the cage and closed it and she cried again but after the 10-15 minutes she went back to sleep. what do we do during the day when im at home? i read that i should put her in there when she starts to fall asleep by me ( she loves to sleep by anyone) and i do but then after 5 minutes she wakes up and walks out and looks to sleep by someone. i dont close the door, should i do that during the day too and not just at night? help, any suggestions would be so helpful! thanks!

We kept our 2 pups in their crates as much as possible.  Just a little play time, potty and then crate to sleep (with door closed).  But I'm so glad you got a pup!  German Sheperd, right?  I demand some pictures!

What we have done with all of our dogs is kept them confined to the kitchen when we were home and we stayed in the kitchen with them.  If they were sleeping, it was in the cage, especially at night.  They will cry, but they'll get used to it.

we keep the cage in the living room where we are at most of the time, out kitchen is too small to put the big cage in there. its a pretty big cage but we have a divider were using for now till she gets bigger. i hope she gets used to it soon, it sucks to hear her whine/cry and see her beg

Yes, I demand pictures too! Lots of 'em!


Can't help you on the crate training, my two dogs have never been in one and would probably go berserk if I tried. And then I would give in in about 5 seconds and let them out. I'm their slave, pretty much. People I know who've crate-trained are all glad they did, though, and they seem to get used to it fairly quick.
