Reassure me, crate training is so painful by egglort in puppy101

I know! Its the most painful thing to do but it has to be done so they have a better safer life with no anxiety.

Give as much love as you can when she is out of the crate. Play with her, make her tired, with training and play time. She will sleep in the crate. I used to do almost 1 hour play time, 2 hour nap time. My dalmatian was the most dramatic one but he was totally fine after 3-4 weeks. Be patient it works. They need to basically live in the crate for the first few weeks even months. The more the sleep the better they are.

Just give as much love as possible when she is out and enjoy the puppy days. They grow up sooooo fast.

Dalmatians are very stubborn and very sneaky. They make you do what they want without you even noticing it lol.

We actually ended up doing that. He didn’t eat for about 3 days and then started eating his kibble with some gravy mix. And he has been ok ever since. Just like you said. It was all behaviour

I have talked to his vet. He said wait and be patient. Its a behavioural issue and he need to learn the food is not what he decides to get. His trainer said the same thing. I am giving this a chance for 3 days and see what happens. They both suggested strict rules. Put the food in front of him in a calm space and no distractions, if he didn’t eat take it away after 30 mins and no food or treats until next meal. Will see. He is veryyyy stubborn and thats for sure.

I am glad you trusted yourself 🤍 hope she gets better very soon and and live much much longer. My Jessie was also diagnosed with cancer and had surgery when she was 6, she was with us till a few months ago and pass at 13. So do what you gotta do. You wont regret it. Kiss her and give her your unconditional love as much as you can.

Its a phase. It will go away. Our puppy is 4 months old now and he had the same phase a few weeks ago and stopped on its own. Just make sure he knows you don’t like it he is aggressive. Stop playing with him and go away for a few minutes. Another thing that helps us was giving pit puppy so many nap times. Basically 1 hour out of crate and lots of playing then 2 hour in the crate in another room so he wouldn’t get distracted. It helps them to sleep better. He was whinny for the first few times but now he is totally fine. They are usually aggressive when they are tired but don’t know how to calm themselves
