Crying Out

Naturally, after leaving your sister and mom, dad, and older brother, you might have a disagreeable perspective to sleeping in your crate alone. This disagreeable taste is let out by howling, whining, and barking.

The first night Elsie sleep very well, with a few barks and whines every time she had finished going out. I simply had to just learn to pull the covers over my head and wait it out. I am not able to let her out, since we don't want her to develop bad habits.

The second night, Elsie howled a lot and kept part the household up. But since she got no results, she should soon, LORD willing, grow out of this habit and into a calmer one.

Last night I am not sure how long she actually howled, because I was so out of it, and my older brother let her out a lot.

But here are some pointers:

  1. Do NOT ever let her get her way.
  2. Ignore her. Talking to her might just make her worse.
  3. Train her in the day time to sit in her kennel nicely, awake or asleep.
  4. Be patient.
