I got a puppy about a week ago and he does fine in the crate he will go in and lay down and sleep for and hour or two but every night i wake around 3 a.m. to up to him crying and barking to go out so i take him out then he goes back in the crate and at about 4:30 i wake up again to the crying and barking. From talking to friends that have had or have puppies they say there puppies can make it the whole night without crying or barking. Is there anything i can do so i can get a full nights rest or should i not plan on sleeping for the next couple months?
Answer
Occasionally throughout the day, drop small pieces of kibble or dog biscuits in the crate. While investigating his new crate, the pup will discover edible treasures, thereby reinforcing his positive associations with the crate. You may also feed him in the crate to create the same effect. If the dog hesitates, it often works to feed him in front of the crate, then right inside the doorway and then, finally, in the back of the crate.
In the beginning, praise and pet your pup when he enters. Do not try to push, pull or force the puppy into the crate. At this early stage of introduction only inducive methods are suggested. Overnight exception: You may need to place your pup in his crate and shut the door upon retiring. (In most cases, the crate should be placed next to your bed overnight. If this is not possible, the crate can be placed in the kitchen, bathroom or living room.)
You may also play this enjoyable and educational game with your pup or dog: without alerting your puppy, drop a small dog biscuit into the crate. Then call your puppy and say to him, "Where's the biscuit? It's in your room." Using only a friendly, encouraging voice, direct your pup toward his crate. When the puppy discovers the treat, give enthusiastic praise. The biscuit will automatically serve as a primary reward. Your pup should be free to leave its crate at all times during this game. Later on, your puppy's toy or ball can be substituted for the treat.
It is advisable first to crate your pup for short periods of time while you are home with him. In fact, crate training is best accomplished while you are in the room with your dog. Getting him used to your absence from the room in which he is crated is a good first step. This prevents an association being made with the crate and your leaving him/her alone.

Dog crate training question?
Q. Hi, I've got two older dogs I rescued from the pound - both are unruly and untrained. A couple people now have told me to try crate training - is this a good route to go? Both these dogs spent the last month in a small cage in the pound after being abandoned by their previous owner. They're needy and extremely appreciative of being here now but I'm afraid to start sticking them in crates after what they've been through. I know it's a slow process but should I even try and if I do, what is the time frame before two dogs like these would actually be crate trained. Thanks for any input.
Answer
No,it is NOT a "slow process"!
Put in crate...shut door....DEMAND silence.
Carets KEEP DOGS SAFE....keep house & contents clean & whole....while dogs are not under direct supervision!
Crates are DENS...bedrooms...NOT FING JAILS!
dogs are NOT human.
