Any tips for a dog that won’t stop crying in their crate? I really want them to like their “home” and it is not working out.
Have you checked to be sure the crate is the right size? If it’s too small or too big, they might feel intimidated. One thing I did with my dogs was put one of my shirts or blankets I slept with in the crate. This added comfort but also let them smell me in the crate. I also keep the room with the dog crate in it calm, and quiet. I have found that if it’s calm around the crate, my dog is calmer.
