I’m looking for suggestions on how to move forward with Remy’s crate training. His crate is in my bedroom but he sleeps in our bed at night. Each morning at about 9:00, after breakfast and a walk, I tell Remy to go into his crate and he runs right in and sits down. I give him a treat and a stuffed Kong and shut the door and cover it with a light sheet. Then I go into the basement to workout. He’s usually good for about one hour.
Here’s the problem. If he hears me moving around the house, he starts to cry and wail. If I put him in the crate any other time of day, he cries and barks and scratches the door and can get very loud. My husband works from home and the racket is loud even in my husband’s office on the other side of the house with doors shut.
I need to be able to have Remy sleep quietly in his crate for about 2 hours even if he can hear us in the house. His crate door is always open and I frequently ask him to go in and I give him a treat, but he’s not making any progress at just chilling in the crate, either with the door open or shut. He’s 9 months and I’m planning ho have him neutered soon so I really need to get him more comfortable with the crate. Any ideas on how to move forward? Thanks!
