Hello, everyone! My name is Ben and I am glad I found this forum.  I am a first-time husky owner and I have discovered that it is almost a full-time job.  I found my Kobe on Craigslist and brought him home almost a week ago at 8 weeks of age.  

I hate to admit it, but attempting to crate train Kobe has been a challenge.  He's constantly crying when I put him in the crate, sometimes for hours on end.  Luckily, I found the crate training thread so I hope to find some tips and advice from you lovely husky owners and put it to use.

Thanks for having me and I hope to read about your adventures with your husky(ies) soon after I get some sleep!

P.S. Here's a picture of Kobe sleeping, enjoy!

Welcome to the forum Ben! Congratulations on such a adorable puppy! Kobe is beautiful!

Plenty of knowledgeable people here so if you have any questions just ask. Sometimes it may be answered right away, other times it might take a little while but we all try to get any questions answered if we can.

Welcome from cali also
Kobe is precious
good luck with the crate its always a challenge!

Welcome, Ben!

Keep at it with the crate training.
I've had three huskies, and the first two beat me.
I gave up because I couldn't take the whining.

My current husky is a rehome that somebody else crate trained.
It is wonderful!
Bodhi just goes inside when it's time for bed.
And when we travel, we bring a travel crate and he sleeps inside.
I should have stuck with it on the first two dogs.

hi, welcome to the forums. they are very cute when they are past out sleeping lol.
crate training is hard, we stated slow had him eating a kong in there with some peanut butter, and he seems to like his crate. although he isn't left alone some is always home.
