There were also a few nights where she had peed on her blanket and I hadn't had time to wash it yet, so we put towels down for her. For awhile he was doing better and would only cry to get up at 2am to go outside and then when my husband woke up to go to work at 5:30am he would go out again. But Macy’s is never unguarded. I would stop letting him out in the middle of the night. He no longer barks or whines AT ALL in his kennel.

Thanks for the welcome, Kate!
We crate Rocky during the day while we work or he is destructive.

Tonight he has been yelping/barking for the past 15 mins..still have an hour or so left I guess :P We put a blanket over his cage, not the front but so it covered the side and back and put it in a quiet corner. They are so smart, they figure it out so quick how it all works. We do try to make him super tired before he goes in his crate...we have even tried it to the point of when we see his little head bobbing to go to sleep we put him in there. Great name for a great girl! When I got Gabe, he had a crate right from the get-go, but one of my other dogs, Dillon, immediately laid down next to the crate the first night. I did notice there is another Dakota on here - great minds think alike haha! “The dogs are intense, and they are always on springs,” said Francis X. Fay, Macy’s security director. He is more than 4 months old, so he should be able to hold it for at least 8 hours or more. Bless his heart - he was telling Gabe he would be fine, and have some company. So many things are leant by the mother and litter mates which are crucial in the puppies development...My previous Female Doberman Rage fed here puppies for 8.5 weeks before she weaned them! The other thing is just give the 2 dogs open crates for a week or so and see how that goes. She is in our office, so our computer is in there, we're in and out of the room, all over the house, outside, etc. Doberman need firm handling. I did that for my last 2 dobes (mother and son) and it was lights out for them at 9.30pm so they didn't bark and disturb my neighbours...In the cool weather I covered them with a dooner beause Dobermans don't like the cold...They loved it and liked sleeping together.
Last night he cried and barked for almost 2 hours. Glad Diesel is picking up on this.Both dogs do get crated when we are at work.

“In training the dogs, we’ve taken extra measures of precaution,” said Fay. If you haven't tried the radio yet maybe give that a shot! They usually just want to be near you.....Maybe get a larger crate and put both dog in it....

She slept on her bed next to my bed as soon as I got her. They are both in the same room - I was hoping that our older puppy would help train him, but that isn't working either.Has anyone gone through this before? When we were crate training Dakota she was really terrible the first few nights, crying and howling for 3-4 hours every night. He has been crated ever since, but he cries every time he is put in his crate for the night. Period! I also have in there, a big teddy bear that he can cuddle upto and play with, also a pillow that I use to sleep on so it has my scent. I wonder if your boy has become accustomed to going out at night, since you catered to his needs (crying). I just don't answer the cries after put to bed!!!

I have tried calming sprays and calming treats, cuddly toys, turning the radio on, ticking clock, covering the crate, etc. We pay her ZERO attention while she's in there. 8 out of 10 times he'll still usually cry for a little while.The weird part about it all, is that he will go in his crate during the day and lay down and chew on a toy and then bring it out to play with, etc. So she got used to hearing normal activities, eating, talking, watching tv, doing dishes, mowing the lawn, etc. I don't talk to the puppy, console or even look at them.Later when he/she is crate trained, night time trained, if there is a One thing I would do is make sure to keep him awake in the evening before you go to bed so that he's tired, and obviously a good long walk or play session immediately before he goes into the crate is good, too. I never put Brea in a crate until I had to go to work. With the darkness, six Doberman Pinschers come down from their 20th-floor penthouse kennels to range through the store. I have never crated Rocky at night even as a 10 week old puppy. She adores her crate! Anyway good luck and keep us posted.Things are going well with Diesel.

b: The flashing brown eyes of Red Star almost dim the glitter of the sterling in the counter is casing. He would wake up the first few weeks and start to cry and I would simple reach down and pet him. He has plenty of toys to play with and I've even given him treats, but nothing seems to work to get him to stop crying. Work dogs first, then big blacks seem to know they are tough cops.

So you'd like if he didn't like it he wouldn't do that.I'm hoping this is something he just has to grow out of. Before they were allowed to go on the couch, so I thought it would be hard to train them they were not allowed, but they caught on fast. If you live in Colorado we have a local Doberman Club Facebook group be sure to join us to learn about the best vets, dog parks and hikes. What have you been doing about his crying in the crate? Owning one requires commitment and care, but if trained well, they can be wonderful family dogs. Then when he starts crying do it all over again I have seen this work but he is still really young. My husband and I even got to the point of wearing earplugs to bed! I don't know if I'd put your pup in with the other dog, 'cause I think they each need a den of their own, but can you put the crates next to each other?
