Crate training a puppy<\/strong> is an exercise in patience (with Stetson it certainly was).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If there’s one thing I’ve learned as a guide dog puppy raiser it’s how to crate train a puppy.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

More importantly, I learned how to stop a puppy from barking in his crate at night!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been raising puppies now for over 19 years and I’ve now raised seventeen total puppies (I’m currently raising my 18th puppy!)<\/p>\n\n\n

Do you want to know to stop your puppy from barking in his crate? Read on…<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Stetson, my first guide dog puppy was very stubborn and hated his crate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Needless to say, Stetson almost ended my guide dog puppy-raising career just as it was getting started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’ve been following my blog for a while then you already know that it took Stetson over FOUR WEEKS to get used to his crate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, he did not let me sleep more than two hours in a row during those four weeks. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news is he prepared me for parenthood. My three daughters have all been better sleepers than Stetson! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
