>>2535902I’ll look into it! I haven’t signed her up yet to any classes but I just got her last night and omg I think I traumatized the poor thing.
I tried doing crate training first night and she screamed like a banshee! Tried ignoring it and she didn’t stop until 10 mins in and then I let her out (don’t want to reward her for barking) but yeah Jesus she is afraid of the crate locking her in now and I totally fucked up. How do I get her into the crate for long periods of time and think it’s nappy time?
I’ve been feeding her meals in there and tossing food. She’s so food motivated because lab brain and isn’t completely scared of it. Like she will step into the crate but freaks out if I close the door
. She’s having trouble falling asleep and keeps whining and waking herself up with panic attacks and her own whining, I try to soothe her with pets and soft voice but that just keeps her up. Also she sleeps under our dining chairs and table because it’s crate like lol. I don’t understand why she doesn’t like the crate when she obviously likes a cozy comfy den atmosphere? This is my first ever dog I’m 100% solely responsible for so I’m still learning.
