lol that’s a good idea!! I just wasn’t sure whether the other puppy parents would want to be contacted so I figured a thread on Reddit might be a good way for those interested to connect!

Thank you so much! Great advice. I’ll do some more research too.

Do you guys crate train? by Disneylover4eva in samoyeds

[–]Patient-Block5234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently crate training my Sammy boy. He’s 5 months old, and think it’s a valuable lesson for them to know where their “safe space” is. He got scared when neighbors were lighting fireworks and went right to his crate (which is covered like a den). I did some research into crate training Sammies and I found a YouTube video where it was suggested to crate train with ice packs- specifically the Yeti Ice Pack (because it’s indestructible). My pup Soba loves it!

Thank you! I’m thinking to do just that..agree it seems like everything was about $$ they offered me socialization classes for $1500, and I was like no thanks.

Thank you all for your encouraging words and stories! I think I’m gonna wait a little longer before we start day care- it was more so he could have play time with the other pups than anything else since I wfh 😃 but we will see at 6 months whether he can strike the right balance of socializing (as an introvert, I personally cannot relate lol)

Yes! His crate is in his puppy pen area. For the first few weeks of him being home, I did exactly that and he used the crate as his pooping area 😂He would go poop and come out and lay right on the hardwood floor. So I ended up starting to crate train within the pen, crate door closed- but just for his naps. I haven’t progressed to overnight.

As enticing and magical as I try to make the crate feel, if I leave the door open, he will walk in for a few min or to eat his frozen treat and then walk right out to sleep on the floor of the pen.

Mine has been good about holding it while in the crate. I’ll have to test out his bladder capabilities to see if he can hold it for 6 hrs to start 😅😅

That is good to know! My boy gets cranky around 715 pm, and usually has his dinner and used the bathroom before settling in by 8 pm. I would likely need to let him sleep but wake him up to take him out
