Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

I am a new husky owner but i have always kept dog of all breeds. My lovely 10 week old pup, Nymeria, is doing great.

Her general training is coming on great!! But the problem is when she goes in her crate at bedtime she freaks out as soon as we leave the room.
This is something that is not an issue during the day. Nymeria will put herself in the crate when she need some alone time, and we can come in and out of the room. The second it is bedtime, even if she is sleepy, she crys and howls for hours tonight she has been going at it for 2 hours straight!!!

I feel so guilty about it. Am i right to let her cry as she is new to the crate but it is needed as she will eat everything when she is left at night.

I have tried having the crate in the room with us and it only make her wrose as she tries to bit and kick the door open

Any advice would be much appreciated!!!

Thank you!!!

You shouldn't feel guity, you aren't doing anything wrong to her. You are doing something for her...eventually.

You just have to wait it out and continue to not give in. It will change, it always does, it just takes time and lots of patience.

It's all about conditioning and patterning and once this kicks in as a newly conditioned pattern, it will be quiet as can be.

There is no magic trick or shortcut that will make her quiet and content prior to the conditioned pattern being normal for her. It just takes time.

You can follow Jeff's excellent advice or resort to how I threaten to deal with husband when he is sleeping fitfully or not at all.  I call it the "rubber mallet treatment" lol!

Seriously, the important thing is to not give him...my mantra? "This, too, in time will pass"
