  • A common question we get from puppy owners is how to stop a dog from barking in the crate. Lots of people take the silent treatment approach, where they try to just ignore their dog. And while this can work sometimes, there are lots of situations where that isn’t enough information for your dog to understand what you want from them. So if you’ve tried doing nothing and that’s not working, then it’s time to do something about it.

      Hi there, Amanda! A collar will give you the best control of your puppy and it’s a much better piece of equipment during training. A harness is a great option once your puppy has learned their skills and it is something that your puppy can “graduate” to.
      A properly fitted collar will be able to stay on your dog all of the time. You’ll need to check on the collar as your puppy gets bigger, to make sure it’s still the right size and with most collars you can adjust it to be the perfect fit. People have run into issues when their pups collar is too loose with their puppy wearing it overnight. So checking its size a couple of times every week as your puppy is growing, is always a good idea. Thanks for watching! ~Ken

    The issue is that many trainers give a lot of mixed advise. Sometimes I have had trainers say to stop the noise by giving treats, others say be silent. It really confusing not just me, but the furry one.

    • @biblesaurus6862
      @biblesaurus6862 2 года назад +23

      I think there is that mix advice bc not all dogs train the same, some react better to different techniques. The key is to try out something and if it dosnt work out then move on to the next one. What they all have in common is patience and effort, you need to show your dog that you are trying and they respond better.

But if I try to feed him in there he's never happy or even just to put him in for a minute to get some food! He barks like crazy!

    Your advice works!!! Thank you so much for making these videos for us, for free. Two night ago we had about 2 hours of sleep due to our puppy crying and barking in their crate. Our previous dog never fussed in the crate, so we thought the right thing to do was to let the dog “bark it out”. Last night, within 5 minutes of following your advice on tapping the crate with “uh uh or no”, the barking and whining stopped. We had a full nights sleep, thanks to you!!

Regardless, she's 10.5 weeks old, but already terrified of the crate and just whines and barks. I'll definitely have to try some tips from here

    I have a Samoyed puppy that absolutely hates her crate and took several months to even tolerate it. None of the suggestions from any video I watched ever helped. The one thing that did help me was to be very consistent with putting her in the crate. Anytime I noticed her about to nap I would put her in. Once she calmed down and was quite for a minimum of 5 minutes (differing the time every time) I would let her out. Rinse and repeat. She got so tired that barking and fighting was the last thing she wanted to do. It helped her associate the crate with a place she can sleep.

    Our puppy is perfect at night in the crate and usually perfect during the day too. The real issue is when he's in his puppy play pen. While I'm working(from home) I want him to be able to stretch his legs, but if I'm in the room he will bark constantly. I taught him to settle and be quiet, but as soon as that's over and I go back to my business he just starts up again. It's driving me nuts.

    Hi, my golden was a nightmare the first week home and then he was perfect, he’d sleep in his crate during the day in my room then about 3 weeks ago he’s started to whine again in his crate..I bought a bigger crate incase his other one was a little small for him but there’s still issues..I Ignore the whines at night but sometimes it goes on for an hour at a time when I’m trying to sleep..is he just being rebellious or is there something I’m missing? 🙏🏼 thanks!

      Cover the crate with a dark sheet or blanket at night. You can also give them a nylabone to keep them busy in there till they get tired.

    The problem with my pup is he only barks when we leave him and move out of site. Makes it much more difficult to give it treats once its quiet. Is yelling "NO" when it barks the followed by a "Good Quiet" the right way to go about this or am I giving him the attention he's looking forward to? I'm conflicted with the silent treatment method or stopping the behavior right away then positive reinforcement once he's silent? Any help would be appreciated.

    Feel like this all make sense but, my pup loves his crate but rn whenever i feed him he gets nuts, bark bites, pees, jumps for 2h even if i involve trick training and long walks in that period hes still super hyper when we get home. And if i leave him in crate while im in the same room for him to calm will he not be scaredof the crate? Rn he just barks until i com to him sit there and calm him,then i open cus i dont want him to calm down and pee in his crate, but as soon as i let him out it starts all over. So any videos of how to handel dogs with tantrum that has been activated physicaly and mentaly but just dont realise they are tired?

    Struggling with this issue with our 9 week old BT. She does okay if you put her in the crate to sleep but if she’s awake she whines/barks and if she sees you the more worked up she gets. Been feeding her in there and trying to teach her to be quiet while in there but she never settles down even if she’s tired. At night when she wakes up I take her outside but maybe that’s confusing her? I know she has to go out though?!

    My puppy is going to be 1 next week. She slept in her crate through the night until she was spayed. Now she doesn't sleep let alone in her crate. Oddly she actually loves her crate. She will go in it with no problem when I am going out or when I shower. You can see she fights sleep. If she sleeps 6 hours in a 24 hr period thats s lot. I haven't slept in 6 months!

      Answering this in case anyone needs answers now for this type of issue. Cover the crate with a breathable blanket or crate cover. It tones down there sense so they can calm down. We have a beagle pup and as they are "seekers" it helps his nose and sense chill so he can sleep. We had to use the above techniques when he started barking in the crate after a week. He did need the specifics of "what I should be doing in here."

    @andrealurie6801 3 года назад

    Should I use the same crate for day and night then? I’ve been using one smaller, more “den” like one during the day that she quite likes and a larger, more open crate at night. I think she’s associating that larger one with me going to bed.
    She barks and after a while starts to cry. She sometimes reverts to playing with her toys and then I notice her trying to self soothe. (Lays down, shifts, lays down again again). All this takes a long time too and she just seems stressed. I’ve used soothing music, which works well, but I don’t want to have to rely on that all the time, going forward.
    Could bringing her daytime crate upstairs help for nighttime?
    Also; is barking in the middle of the night the only way for her to tell me she needs to go potty? It wakes everyone up.

    Hello! I love your videos, and I’ve used them to get my dog comfortable in his crate. He sleeps in it through the entire night without barking. He’ll go in and out without any issues - but whenever I leave the room, like to go to work or run errands. He barks like a mad man for hours. His bark is very whiny and he definitely has some separation issues, it’s been weeks and it hasn’t improved. Any tips?

    • @McCannDogs
      @McCannDogs  5 лет назад +19

      Hi there, Hannah! Yes, this can seem like an impossible task when your pup only makes noise when you're away. You need to use his crate more frequently for short periods. On a day where you aren't working, have him go into his crate then pretend you're going to work. Pop back in a minute later and repeat the process for varying lengths of time throughout the day. He understands that when he goes in his crate at a specific time, you'll likely be gone for "X" amount of time. By breaking up the cycle, he will be less likely to get anxious when you leave. You can also break up that cycle by leaving him with something like a frozen Kong. Stuffing something tasty in there, and putting it in the freezer overnight will make it last a lot longer, and he will be more distracted over the day by having something to investigate and chew. Hope this helps, and thanks for watching! ~Ken

      @@McCannDogs thanks for your videos they are so valuable. My pup has separation anxiety as well and he howls like mad non stop when we leave the room or the house. We are trying tiny 1-2min exposures and returning before the howl gets intense. Any sense of how long we need to keep doing this before we can actually leave our home? We feel like prisoners despite doing all the things.

He cries for a minute or so after going in, but quiets down after that. He only goes in for a treat held at the back, but he’s ready and willing to make that trade.

    My 9-week-old puppy is used to me in the room with her and starts barking when I leave the room. She sleeps great in there but always checks to see that I am still there. I like the advice with the long leash and to be outside the room when she does, raddle the leash. How do I praise her form outside the room? Or do I have to come back into the room? Same at night, she sleeps in her crate and will only stop barking when I am in sight. I start moving, and she gets up and needs to know I am in the room. Thanks, I don't want this to continue and create real separation anxiety, Also happens outside in her potty area. If I walk away, she starts barking... Help!

  • @conman1495

    the patting the crate probably wouldn't work with my dog. If I even just lay my hand on top of the crate without tapping the crate, my dog starts to bare his teeth aggressively so he does seem to see the crate as his but he doesn't want anyone else touching it when he is in it. If I do tap the top of the crate, he has tried to bite my fingers through the crate since it's a metal crate. but the instant I move away or turn away, he'll start to bark. we've tried the no or uh-uh when he barks and sometimes he stops for a second or even a bit longer but other times, he just seems to ignore it and continues on barking. Any suggestions?

  • @wesm.3481
    @wesm.3481 4 года назад

    Should I be covering or partially convering the crate during the day? As school has started my Aussie now has to spend 3-4 hours a day in her crate during the daytime. Barking isn't an issue ever at night but during the day today it was constant (I work third shift so I was trying to sleep). I'll certainly be trying to work on the other things here but it's a wire crate so I wasn't sure if maybe limiting her sensory options might help.

    • @McCannDogs
      @McCannDogs  4 года назад

      Hi there, Wes! Sometimes that can help. What’s more helpful is using the crate at random times, for random amounts of time. Make it as relaxing an experience as possible, and make sure you’re trying to use your crate sometimes when you don’t need to. So that you’re able to focus on training through the barking. Covering the crate is worth a try. But the tried and true method to ensure some good sleep is to treat this behavior like any other training exercise. Thanks for watching ~Ken

    How long would be too long for a barking period? For example we have a new GSD and she barks constantly in her crate. I'm scared she's going to develop separation anxiety due to me working from home. I put her in the crate at different times of the day but she always barks amd never really settles. Its currently day 3. Is that to early or do I need to give her more adjustment time?

    My 10 week old puppy cries in his crate when I leave the room. We're enrolled onto puppy essentials so have done quite a lot of work to build value on his crate. He gets the idea to be quiet if I sit next to his crate and say "ah" everytime he claws the crate door or whines and praise him when he's calm and quiet (usually he falls asleep at this point!) but I'm worried, by me doing this, that it will make it harder for him to see me leave the room. Will this make separation anxiety worse?
