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 feel like we've just passed a massive milestone!

For the past few weeks Freya has been really great with her crate - I mean going into it when I tell her 'crate'. Sometimes I'd have to use a firm voice, and for the times when she was being stubborn I would guide her with her collar towards the crate as she's way too heavy now to pick up.

She has learned that when I say enthusiastically ' Do you need to go for a pee?' it means she is going to go outside and she trots off to the back door like a good little girl.

Tonight after letting her back in from her toilet break, I took the washing out of the dryer and walked to where Freya was. There she was in the lounge room waiting for me to open the crate door for her to go inside and laydown ready for bed.

I am so incredibly proud of my baby girl. I honestly never thought I'd get to this stage of her just knowing when it's time for bed and her doing it without being told.

My little Missy Moo is getting so clever Very Happy

Awesome, congrats. I love it with my Cali, she will open her door, walk in the crate, and close the door behind her.

We are two weeks into crate training with our puppy, and she is doing great! But I really can't wait for her to start loving her crate and going in voluntarily. She is getting more comfortable every day, and doesn't cry much at all at night anymore except when she's needing a potty break. (I feel like I have a newborn getting up every 4 hours, lol)
Love the crate training, and I'm glad for this site which gives me hope and great tips on how to properly get her crate trained! Thanks for sharing. Very Happy

That's wonderful!

While my boyfriend, Juneau and I were away from home on vacation, Juneau would voluntarily walk into her kennel and fall asleep. I was shocked! Too bad she doesn't do that at home yet. hehe Smile

Congrats!

Thanks everyone.

Just needed to share how proud I am of my little/big girl.

I hope this wil give hope to all those who are up two and three if not more times during the night with a crying baby of the 4 legged variety.
When I first brought Freya home, I could never even imagin she would be doing this. All those sleepless nights waiting for her to wake up every 2-3 hours, dreading what I would find in the crate the next morning, have really paid off.
