Eddie's First Night In His Crate:
WENT AWESOME! So, I get everyone ready, Cabeza and Kyle the cat jump into bed with me, and I get down by the crate and call Eddie. He goes right in and I praise him. I close the door and get in bed. Eddie starts to yelp. I put the pillow over my head, and before I can even imagine how long the night is going to be, he stops and goes to sleep! WOW! He yelped for less than a minute. Great. Three hours later, I hear a little whimper. Its 3:30am. Right on schedule. I get up, open the crate door, and Eddie runs straight for the back door! WOOOOO-HOOO! I let him out, and he runs right over to the potty spot and goes potty! YAAAAAAAAAAY EDDIE!!!!! So, I' praisin' the crap outta him, he finishes up and runs right back to the door and looks at me, "Come on lady, its cold outside!" We go in, and he goes right back in the crate.
Four hours later, he's barking like crazy. I don't want to let him out of the crate while he's barking all nuts. But, its time to get up anyway. So, I wait for a few minutes, until he quiets down. Which, he does after about 5 minutes. I open the crate, he runs right to the back door, we go outside. Immediately goes to potty spot and potties! YAAAAAAAAAAAY!
Eddie gets an A+ on his first night of Crate Training 101. YAY EDDIE!
