Got my wife a puppy for her birthday. 9 week old shep/lab mix. Cute dog, we named it June Carter.
Really great dog. Really relaxed. Great temperament. House training going well. Only issue is at night when we crate her. We put her crate downstairs in the laundry room. When she goes in, she will cry for a while. Sometimes over an hour. And loud. Last night she woke up our daughter.
I really don't want the dog in our bed, so I am looking for any suggestions here. anyone else have this issue with younger pups? I would assume it should dissipate over time. How long? Tricks of the trade?
Thanks in advance.

She's not crying, she's singing "It ain't me babe."

At that age especially, maybe abandonment issues? Try for a night putting the crate in the bed room and see if that helps. Possibly once it realizes the crate is a safe place and you aren't going anywhere it'll accept it.

if not, thought about trying to get one of those No Bark Citronella collars.

My current dog went crazy like that when she was a puppy. Even when I crated her, she would go nuts. It finally past after a week or two.
No matter how long it takes and how bad it sucks, it will definitely be worth it.
Dogs fucking rule

This crying thing has happened with EVERY dog I have ever gotten. It usually last 2 to 4 days. Leave it in the cage, it will pass.
If she is waking up your baby, try to put the crate in you basement or laundry room. As far away from the child as possible. But trust me, it will pass.

Shes as far away from the baby as she can be without going into the crawl space. (my wife said no)
I hope your right brother. Last night was night 6, and she was still a cunt.

I was going to suggest putting the crate in your bedroom too but I assumed since you didn't already have it there you didn't want it there. It helped me train my dog cause I knew when she was awake and needed to go out. Made potty training that much easier. Sucked getting up at 3 am but so worth it.
Also, try taking it for a walk to tire her out before bed tim. I know it's a lab and they don't tire easy unlike a retarded bulldog that gets tired just walking outside.

If my daughters room wasn't right next door, I would. But last thing I want is the dog waking up my 2 year old. Then the rest of the night is shot trying to get her back down. Shes a savage. When she goes to bed, I have to act like im leaving the house. if not, and she knows im in the house, she will stand in her crib and yell daddy help over and over until I go in.

A crate for the dog and one for the baby, put them next to each other, problem solved!
I should be selling this advice...

Buy a blanket or durable pad that fits in the crate. This will become it's bed eventually so you never want to wash it unless you have to deal with fleas or bad dirt. Leave the door open and throw some treats in so she can go in and get them. You don't want it to be a jail, you want her to think of it as her bed, so the more you can associate it with comfort the better.
You are going to have to deal with whining no matter what... she is still missing her litter mates, so there is some separation issues going on right now. I would only put the crate in the room that you intend to have her sleep in permanently, as putting it in your room is going to require a secondary separation anxiety issue when you move her downstairs away from you after she is used to sleeping in your room.
From my experience you will have 5-10 days to deal with whining and then the dogs start going in voluntarily because they like the safety of the crate. I would run her ass in to the ground for an hour or so right before bed, then put a small dish of water and small dish of dog food in the crate with her so she is content all night.

Is crating really an acceptable thing? My sister crates her dog and it mortifies me. Is it not cruel?

Let them find a place they want to sleep on their own. how do you go anywhere if your dog cant sleep in a locked cage. you cant safely drive with a dog loose, and if you go to someones house you have to be able to lock them up. only thing worse than letting a dog sleep inside with no boundaries is letting them sleep on your bed. dogs need and want structure, and usually the dogs that show aggression live in a house with no rules.

I'm no dog whisperer or anything, but I've always been told that crating dogs is a GOOD thing. Yes, you don't want them locked up all day. But training them that this is their "spot", so to speak, is good for them. My parents had two Jack Russell that were both crate trained. Just like Kyle said, they chose to sleep in their crates every night for nearly 15 years. They were good dogs, too.

I've known Jack Russells that were given the run of the house and HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!! Those little guys were psychos They jumped up down and barked........and nothing else, all day long

Let them find a place they want to sleep on their own. how do you go anywhere if your dog cant sleep in a locked cage. you cant safely drive with a dog loose, and if you go to someones house you have to be able to lock them up. only thing worse than letting a dog sleep inside with no boundaries is letting them sleep on your bed. dogs need and want structure, and usually the dogs that show aggression live in a house with no rules. You can't drive safely with a dog loose? Left loose in the house or loose in the vehicle? LOL I drive a jeep wrangler with the top and doors off with my dogs in it.
As far as the thread goes. I can't help out, I never caged my dogs. But I always spend boat loads of time training them, I even brought in a trainer to help train the german shepherd. I can leave the dogs home (inside) for hours and when I get back home. They have done nothing wrong.

Thanks in advance. Kong ball with frozen peanut butter. Condition the pup to not associate sleeping time with loneliness. Positive association is always a good learning tool for dogs. And yes dogs do like to be crated. I dont get how it's cruel. Is sleeping in your bedroom cruel? Do people just fall asleep randomly on the ground some where? Most mammals bed down at night.

As Kyle mentioned, you don't want to make the crate a punishment or place of "time out". The idea is to make the crate a safe haven, somewhere where the dog will naturally retreat to for a nap or just for comfort. To simplify it, the crate becomes the den. The dog can wander it's territory etc, but always comes back to the den at the end of the day.

She sleeps in there at night or when we leave. It didn't even cross my mind that it was inhumane. Now the waterboarding when she pisses in the house is debatable.

We have a puppy and have the opposite problem... he is great in his crate all night, sleeps for about 7 hours straight. Our issue is with house breaking, he's just not getting it. He will go to the door and I think we've made a break thru, then 10 minutes later he pees on the carpet right in front of me!

I have heard so many people tell me that to house train dogs you have to shower them with praise and punishment is counterproductive... I feel the opposite, and lay the beatings on early and often. The best is when you can catch them in the act, because you can put the fear of God in them and they directly relate it to them pissing/shitting in the house. In my opinion if a dog is not house trained within 7-14 days, you need to step up the punishment. Dogs should catch on very quickly, so at that point they are doing it out of laziness because they know it's wrong.

Man, I have a tough time beating a dog. I will smack her on the ass if she pisses in the hose, but never more then one smack @ 30%. Enough to scare her, but not hurt her.
Im a pussy, I know.
