i got a new puppy and i wanna know how to get him to stop whining and barking in his kennel
Answer
Make his kennel a cozy safe haven for him. Buy a cheap clicker at any petstore (only costs about $1-3) and first load him on the clicker by clicking then treating until you know that he knows that a click equals a treat. Then throw a piece of kibble or something into the kennel, then click when he goes in, rewarding with a high-value treat such as a piece of cooked chicken, turkey/chicken hotdog, string cheese, or any tid-bit he really, really likes. Do this until you can just stand near the kennel, or tell him "kennel up" and he'll run into there waiting for a treat. Then treat him of course. Also, give him a rawhide, kong filled with squirt cheese, toys, or anything to keep him a little busy in the kennel. Also try feeding him his breakfast and dinners in the kennel, or putting his dinner into something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Busy-Buddy-Twist-Treat-MEDIUM/dp/B001GEAFFE
So that his dinner lasts longer, and he can stay busy in his crate for awhile.
Or google BusyBuddy dog toys, as they have lots of interactive chew toys or treat dispensers that are great for crates. Like this one: http://www.smartpakequine.com/bristle-bone-dental-brush-7575p.aspx?cm_mmc=paidfeeds-_-froogle-_-NA-_-2109715063
Also, make sure that if you have a metal crate, you switch it for a cozier plastic dog crate like this: http://www.amazon.com/Remington-Plastic-36-Inch-26-Inch-28-Inch/dp/B0006HU52U
Oh, and this might help a lot. Kikopup's Youtube channel has tons of wonderful training vids for teaching everything from cool tricks, to common dog behavior problems, and yes, she has several vids on Crate training, like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUzF0g0PwY4
Here's her Youtube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/kikopup
I highly, highly recommend it. I think you'll find it very helpful. Good luck!

Can i stack my dog crates/kennels? Small home.?
Something'
They aren't designed to be stacked but they both are big. Both are inside dogs.
The story is that we had our beagle for 2 years and we were fine, but then a 3 month stray (the lab, Yes! She was a stray.) showed up on our yard and we kept her.
One is this one in MEDIUM. for my beagle that is 30 lbs

The other one is this one in the Largest size. For my 6 month lab/mix that is 50 lbs

If i cannot stack them does anyone have any suggestions? I rather work with what i have and not have to purchase stackable kennels.
Keep in mind my house is small. They only go into the kennels to sleep at night, and when we run errands that will take less than 4 hours.
Answer
Don't they're too unstable and the top one could fall off. I can only see this working if both were attached to the walls next to them. I.e. both are in a corner. The bottom one is bolted to the floor and both are bolted to the wall behind and to the side.
The floor can be skipped if its an apartment. To bolt them to the wall locate the studs in the walls. Run at least two bolts into both the rear and side wall for each crate. I.e. 8 total or 4 per crate. Each bolt goes into a wall stud. Each bolt has a fender washer inside the crate just under the bolt head. These bolts are 1/4 inch by 2" long minimum.
Pre drill with a 3/8's inch drill bit and use a wrench to screw in the bolts. Don't forget those fender washers. Any hardware store can sell you both items and the wrench as well as a stud finder.
If the rear wall does not have two studs you can use the wall board. Ask at the hardware store how to safely seat a bolt into a wall board. Special bolts are needed but still use the fender washers.
