How should I start crate training my puppy?
My Golden Retriever/Black Lab Mix is 9 weeks old.I go to school and my family goes to work and my pup gets left alone for about 7 hours. What I used to do is let him roam free, but now he is starting to urinate and poop inside the house. Im going to get his crate today, but what should I stock it up with??, if anything. Also, I know he is going to start whining when I put him inside the crate. So how can I introduce him to his crate?? Is it ok to leave a 9 week old puppy in a crate for 7 hours??
The dog will likely be frightened by the crate. It would be better to crate train your dog at night. If you sleep where he can see you in the beginning, he will not cry and whine as much. Once he’s used to it he will love his crate.
It just isn’t a good idea to leave a puppy in a crate for seven hours during the day. Puppies need a lot of socializing to be good dogs. Do you have a friend or neighbor who can dog sit? Maybe your family should look into doggie daycare. It might make life more liveable for everyone.
