More CRATE TRAINING BE QUIET IN THE CRATE
No, no, no . These things are not allowed:
Squeak
Whine\under the breath whine
Heavy breathing
Bark
Ki yi
Digging at the crate gate or sides
Digging the bedding
Quiet is quiet. Quiet breathing. If the dog is panting at
rest, it is too hot or needs out, or is in pain, or is thirsty or is hungry in
other words stressed. That needs to be addressed.
If the dog is comfortable except for being locked up in a
crate, tell it to be quiet. Absolutely quiet.
The correction.

Smack crate top and xpen enclosure with magazine or baseball
cap or leather gloves while expressing your complete displeasure at any noise.
Act in a rather puffed up ape like fashion (outraged human lol) Increase the
emphasis accordingly but timing is everything. The instant your dog makes
noise, react swiftly and emphatically. Stamp your foot if you do not have
neighbors below you. If done clearly, your instant palatable displeasure will
dissuade the dog. on’t be shy. Vent a little. Treat it like therapy.
If it proves to be a battle, pull up a chair and get a
magazine or book to read. Be persistent but give breaks to the business area.
