Puppy Crying In Crate - 5 Key Tips On How To Stop Puppy From Crying In Crate.

If you've already started doing some crate training, then I’m sure you’ve experienced what is often regarded by many dog owners as the “puppy crying in crate” problem.

Listen, before I share with you my methods on how to stop puppy from crying in crate, I just want to give you the heads up.

See, when it comes to facing this problem, you have 2 options:

1) Provide as much warmth and comfort as possible to your puppy.

2) Choose to disregard his crying and whining.

You decide which approach to go for. Oh, and bear in mind that both options are equally effective.

Now, although option number 2 may seem a little harsh, it works just as well because over time, your puppy’s confidence will grow. Eventually, he’ll learn to relax when he’s all by himself.

However…

Okay, since you’re reading this article, I reckon that you are type of owner who can’t bear to hear your puppy crying in crate, especially at night when you have to catch some much needed sleep, right?

Therefore, I’m going to share with you 5 tips that I’ve personally used to solve puppy crying in crate issue.

Here you go.

1. Medical Radical

Puppies that often cry and whine excessively may be suffering from a specific medical problem.

If you’ve just brought this crate crying puppy to your house and you haven’t taken him to the vet, then please, get your pup to the nearest vet to rule out any medical issues.

Done this already? Okay, all well and good then. So we move on to the next tip.

2. The Finger Comforter Method

Human touch is very important when it comes to comforting a scared, crying puppy. Here’s a very workable method on how to stop puppy crying in crate.

I often employ this method on my dog Bisco, back when he was just a wee little pup.

I called it the ‘Finger Comforter Method’ and this is how you do it.

Move the crate very near to your bed. Each time before going to bed, reach down and place your finger through the crate so that you’re able to finger touch your puppy.

Offer more comfort by also allowing the puppy to nibble on your finger a little bit. This would really calm you puppy down.

Gradually, you can train your puppy to learn that if he keeps quiet, he will be given attention (finger touch, nibbling).

However, if he does the usual puppy crying in crate thingy, you remove your finger from the crate. No more attention for you, buddy!

Now, this brings me to tip #3.
