HiI have a 4 month old westie, I’ve had her for 10 days and since day one she has been sleeping inside a crate in my bedroom, I leave her there at least three times a day for periods of like 2 hours and the rest of the time she spends it with our 3 year old labrador in my bedroom, which is connected to the backyard, so I leave the backyard door opened basically all day long.
Anyway, the problem is that everytime she is in the crate she starts crying and barking like crazy, I read somewere that I should not do anything to stop her crying and that she will eventually get it…well she hasnt get it, I mean, sometimes she cryes/barks herself for more than 30 minutes (or more) and then she will start again after being quiet for a while.
I have made an effort to make her crate a cozy place, she always gets a treat when I get her into the crate, she has chew toys that she loves but its not working, she only stays quiet from the beggining a few times…its not like she never stops crying when she is in there, I mean, she eventually starts playing and have fun inside the crate, but she hates the “idea” at the beggining of it, you know?Am I doing someting wrong??? please help cause my parents come back from a business trip in a few days and its going to be even harder to train her with them in the houseplease help me
