| Is the breeder close enough to you that you can get a blanket to them to get the momma dogs scent on it? That, along with a ticking clock or a 'sound machine' (makes what they call white noise to drown out noises - I use one and love it!) might help the little one adjust to her new surroundings.
Also, invest in a good set of earplugs and ingore her when she starts to carry on. I know you didn't want to hear it...BUT, when she STOPS crying, then take her out of the crate.
Don't reward her for crying and making noise by taking her out. Once she stops making a fuss, take her out for a bit and play, go out for potty, then back into the crate she goes.
Also, where is the crate kept? She might just be lonely. If youmove the crate into the bedroom so she can see and smell you she might not cause as much of a fuss.
Just a few suggestions...good luck! |
