Hey,
First time posting here and couldn't really find something similar, sorry if it's a duplicate.
So it's been a bit of a rollercoaster when it comes to crate training my now 11 week mixed breed pup. We have him since he's 7 weeks and started crate training since day 1. Some days are more whining, some are less. I'm pretty sure I made some mistakes on the way as it's my first puppy.
But there's something I noticed recently – as we come back from 2nd potty before enforced nap, I gently put him straight in the crate, give some treats (or sometimes to chew) and leave. This way, there's barely any whining at all.
When I used to lure him in, give treats/chew, etc. – he sometimes would go crazy, but only on his best days were as quiet as he is now.
Is this just a coincidence, has anyone had this happen to them?
