Who else puppy was screaming in the background while you were watching this video😭
Mine right now… it’s midnight
😅🙋🏽♂️😂🤣
Who else had to rewind 100 times because you couldn’t hear the video over their dog screaming? 😂
Mine 😂😂😂
ohhhh i’m losing my mind
My Doberman puppy is doing this now and I want to jump out of the window
did this technique work for u?
I hear you (just-over the noise here of the same thing..)
How are things now? 😂 5 months later
I got a 10 weeks Toy poodle and every time I leave him, he sounds like he’s being murdered 😅
Mine too
I just got my golden retriever puppy exactly a month ago and your videos helped me prepare for her arrival. Cant believe i spent 2 months watching this channel just so i could be a better furparent to my Piper. More blessings to y’all!! 💖
I’m getting my new puppy next weekend and I’m so nervous! I’ve been watching these vids non stop the past few weeks hoping it all goes well 😢
@@lisadee9279 it def wont be easy but our pups are worth it 💯.
@@lisadee9279 how’s it going for y’all? I got a puppy around the same time
@@lisadee9279 how are you going with your new pup?
Just for a Golden pup as well. These videos are amazing and are already helping with training stuff!
Hi guys! Great tips!!! The only part that I'm missing what you do with a puppy when it's whining at night? There are mixed advice on the internet - let it cry it out, comfort your puppy immediately, wait 5 mins...confused parent!!! 😢
I have the same problem with one of my big dogs crying at night and I can't get sleep
I put her crate in the bedroom at night. It helped.
@@parkertalamantes- It is the same as in this video - separation anxiety. Follow the advice here.
Watched this video just as i was gonna crate train my pup. Followed the instructions by Kayl, and now she's sleeping like a puppy inside the crate with no crying going on almost 1hr and counting :) thanks for the help!
So happy to hear that, Fredrik! Happy Training!
Thank you for making this wonderful video! We struggled for a whole week to get our 12-week-old puppy to calm down in his crate. He would whine non-stop before freaking out and resorting to barks and making a mess of his crate. After several sleepless nights in a row, we were at our wits end. Then, looking for some guidance, I came across this video. I followed the instructions to a "T." MAGIC! The first 30 minutes were iffy, but by the end of the first hour, I could already see a difference. We worked on this on-and-off throughout the day. By bedtime, we were nervous. Our pup whimpered quietly once or twice, but otherwise remained calm and quiet. He slept through the night, only waking us up to let us know he needed to be let outside twice. It was nothing short of miraculous. He's remained calm in his crate for a couple consecutive nights. Thank you for teaching us how to be better doggy parents!

I just tried this and my whining, barking, scratching at the crate Lhasa puppy is snoozing right now in the crate for 20 minutes and counting! Thank you!!!
More than 1 hour and he's fully settled down even when I leave the room.
@@aaramonu he is an angel lol 😂
This is seriously magical! My brand new rescue puppy took to this right away -- she already recognized her crate as a safe place but closing the door and leaving was a no-go until this
This is the exact video I needed! My puppy is the best thing on the planet but she makes doing normal human things very difficult.😂
How have you gone?
I have a 9 week old puppy 🐶 she’s a diva but the quiet & tapping the crate is helpful
This video is so timely. My newly adopted dog is doing it right now when she’s in the crate
This is the thing we've consistently been struggling with - thank you so much!
This is such a great video! The long line attached to the crate and correcting while out of site is so genius!! I'm getting a new puppy on the 21st and I will definitely be watching the rest of your videos!
Wow Thankyou for this video. Our 9 week old cavapoo, sweet as she is, was whining whenever in her crate and she couldn’t see us. Just one day of this training method and can already see a huge difference! We want her crate to be her safe space and have been implementing all your crate training tips. So far so good!
This has been a huge help, thank you! After about an hour of working with my dog she totally got it!
I never thought I could crate train a dog, and I def failed my first pup. lol. but my new 2nd dog seems to need it and I used your tips and some others I found around and he is doing pretty good! Thank you for posting. I really appreciate your videos!
This video actually helped me so much as I just got a new puppy and every time I left the room to go do something he would whimper and even jsut calling his name and saying quiet helped calm him especially the praise after thank you
Our puppy (who we've had for a couple of weeks) turned 3 months old on the 27th. We just set up his crate today and have been training. Tonight is his big night - the first night sleeping in it. Now that he has a crate he'll have a place to go be while I have importrant human things to do (bathing, cooking, etc...). Thank you so much for your advice!
This is exactly the problem I have with my puppy, excellent video!
Love this channel I just got a frenchie as a gift and trying to crate train him so when I’m not home. He’s doing okay for his 3rd day
Been binge watching your vids because I'm getting a Jack Russell Pub in the spring. Great easy to follow content. Cheers.
I laid down with my puppies next to their crates for the first few nights until they fell asleep, then I went to bed. (same room). Worked great.
Thats what were doing also. On our 3rd day he seems to understand the crate isnt his enemy. Still moans and whines though
Sometimes, I read my puppy a bedtime story and she will be asleep a few minutes later.
I tried this. It works on 1 of my 2 puppies! One is a deep sleeper and one is a light sleeper! The light sleeper has incredible hearing/sense.
@@graciegonzales2077 I love that I sing them whatever song has been playing in my head all day
Look at that, my 3 month Anatolian Shepherd mix basically sleeps with one eye open. The slightest sound and he is up and scanning the area😂
I just got my Shih tzu puppy yesterday and it definitely was a rough first night! I found this video and started working with her for about an hour so far… major improvement! I’m so happy I found your channel
Extremely helpful! Very much appreciated 🙏
Simply incredible!! Thank you so much!!
Thank you!!!! I was trying to train and do the washing.... stopped everything to just work on just crate training.....worked quicker than I expected!🎉❤
I watched this video with your other crate training videos, and in one day we have turned the corner and my puppy is doing amazing. Thank you!
So happy to hear that, Rachel! Happy Training!
What a beautiful dog. ❤❤. Whippets are notorious for wanting to be with you all the time. Thank you for trying to help her be calm.
I am so thankful for your video u have help me train all 3 my dogs to be crate train and not whine at only 8wks and second night home 🥰 please keep the videos coming
So much helpful info.. thank you as always 😊
my partner and I just adopted a puppy and she wasn’t doing well in a crate. After training her with the help of this video for literally half a day she has done WONDERFULLY. She goes in her crate on her own to play with her toys, she is responding to the “kennel” command, and when we put her up for nighttime she whines for less than a minute and settles down. Thank you so much!!🐾❤️ I can’t wait to see how much more she progresses in her training
I was literally looking for help with whining in the crate! Thank you 🥰
My dog was literally starting to cry in the crate when this came up on my feed. Great video
Thank you soooo much! We just got a Malinois puppy and he was being so loud, this worked within minutes and he’s now okay and sleeping! ❤
so far this was the most helpful yet! thank you!
Thank you so much for this video! I am a first time puppy owner and this is so helpful! My pup is currently resting in her crate after being very wild in the house. Thank you! I have wanted her to do what she’s doing now but didn’t have the tools!
Rewatched a few times. Really needed the tips (and the other puppy training videos) to get us on the right track with my 10 week old pup
Glad you found it so helpful. Happy Training!
Thank you so much. This video really help with my two pups dealing with Neophobia. Thank you so much.
The leash wiggle really helped us
This is so helpful thanks! I just got a black Labrador puppy today and she always cries in her crate already and wants to be let out. She starts barking as well which is a pain lol
Thank you so much, Kale! Excellent training!
Yes!!! Exactly what I needed. We’ve got a 5mo greyhound puppy and are struggling with crate training, trying to work through it day by day.
You are a lifesaver I couldn't stand my boxers screeching. And now it's all fixed thankyou
What a great video. Thank you so much
Luving your tutorials! It has helped me immensely with my Shihpoo!
I think you are great! Thank you so much for posting!!
Great video, thank you. Been really loving your videos.
This took us from 5 seconds, to 1 hour of me working in the other room -- within a day! To be fair, he's been sleeping most of the time, but I made sure to make him notice I'm leaving the room and haven't heard a peep since.
You literally just gave me some of my life back. My puppy responded to this immediately. Im continuing this method!
Thank you for making this wonderful video!!
Thank you for the tips!
FABOULOUS VIDEOS!!!! thank you so much for training me to be the best parent for my puppy!!!
Thanks! So helpful
🙏 It takes repetition & patience to progression forward. Amen.🙏
Such great timing. I’m picking up puppy end of month. I so badly want crate training to work especially at night. Afraid of tripping over small dog. Thank you!
Finally a video featuring a sight hound!! My Afghan cries in his crate …
Genius the best training videos ever.
Thanks for the tip
I took in two pups that were dropped off. I live alone and have a full time job so these are helpful
The type of voice you use is perfect
Wow, just amazing and effective. My 3 month old pup was whining so loudly in that crate but within 3-4 seconds of applying this technique he stopped. Thank you so much. I guess I can sleep peacefully tonight.
Did these techniques 1 hour a day with my 8 week old berner/pyraneese cross And IT WORKS!!!! First night we got him was brutal. After finding this video, doing 1 hour a day past 3 days, we get to sleep on our schedule to take him out with minimal crying every night so far. Start slow, baby steps. Make the crate comfortable and getting him to go in on his own (other videos show this) and don’t close the door right away, he knows he can go in and out and lots of treats+clicker+praises. And we feed him his foods in it. Then start closes and “quiet” like this video and build from there! Good luck folks!
Wow a great trainer 🎉
This works!!!! My puppy was an angel when I first got her. Then a few days in she started whining/crying hysterically. Literally in 5 mins of practice (immediately saying quiet) she settled down.
Thank you!
My dog got his crate late so he isnt used to being in his cage at night but this was really helpful thank you
Extreemly helpful video
Thanks 👍
5:57 was cartoonishly hilarious when she statued after your "quiet."🤣 Thank you for sharing your insights.
Thank you so much
A very useful video. Thank you very mucvh! I trained my GSD also in less than an houre.Great!
This is amazing thank you 🙏🏼 I can eat dinner in peace 😊
Thank you
I just got my puppy yesterday and he cried and whined for hours in his crate. As soon as I started using this it worked. Its been a few hours now no whining☺️ I’m for sure subscribing for more advise‼️
Your puppy is passive mine will keep whining non stop even when i dont attend to its cry.
Just used this with my non crate trained 16 week old puppy and it WORKED it was a rough 30-40 minutes but she's calm and even sleeping better. I know it's just the first time but this is so much progress. Thank you for this!! (PS: I used literally every method in this video, even the lead "trick")
Thanks!
What is the optimal width (1cm, 1.5cm or 2cm) and length for a purebred sportline Labrador Retriever puppy to have a leash without a hand strap when coming out of the cage (as always shown in the videos)? Can you always use a 2cm dog leash without a hand strap for this puppy?
Personally I put a blanket on my dog's crates because it makes the crate feel more home-y and more like a cozy den and a safe space for him (he still have one side which he can look out from.)
Very nice lesson. What’s the brand of your crate? I like it a lot. It looks very rigid and sturdy. What is the size of the crate for your dog? My dog is kind of the same size as your dog. Thank you very much
Good video❤
My 6 month old Havanese is still barking when first in the wire crate or plastic travel crate so I definitely need to work on crate training. Thanks!
I just got a havanese, he is 2 months old! I have the same problem as well 😭 He’s only calm when he sleeps but our main problem with him right now is that he loves biting hands and feet (a bit too hard), do you have any tips for that?
@@alimonet8898 hey, I just keep putting something he’s allowed to chew in his mouth, I also hold his mouth closed or open to teach him that biting is not acceptable as I yelp loud. He’s getting way better in the crate since I’ve been using it more. 🤞🏼
Game changer!
This channel was a game changer when training our puppy. I recommend you to everyone who ask about training. Our dog gets compliments all of the time for being so well behaved and its all because of the videos I watched at McCann! Thank you, thank you for sharing your knowledge!!
Your so generous!
Thanks for the Super Thanks!
I love your channel and you’ve helped me a lot in training my dog. I’d just like to know how long should I put a sheet over my dog’s crate? He’s a 6 month old mini doxie and he’s using a wire crate.
I have a question: MCCanns videos all suggest that you should keep your pup in the crate when you are not training. One of the reasons we are getting a pup is also emotional support; to chill with him, cuddle with him and play, how is this possible when it needs to be in the crate all the time? I really appreciate all the videos you guys are sharing, great information and tips on raising a dog!
I would use the crate then for sleeping. When your puppy naps its a great time to let them feel the comfort of the crate while napping. Yes I KNOW you want to pet and cuddle the sleeper, but you can continue that after you teach "comfort/sleeping" crate training. When your pup goes to the crate themselves (You leave the door open) when they want to relax/nap you know you have done it right. Crate training is over.
Me after 5 days…. 😴 wow training is so hard 😂
Good video, So my Beegle howls in her crate when she sees me and when she knows i'm home. Apparently when im gone all day she lies down and sleeps but when i come home she loses her "poop" and wont stop howling. The same thing happens in the morning when she wakes up for morning walks. My wife has trained her to her now i want to train her to me too.
my biggest problem with my dobie is the separation anxiety she freaks out in a crate unless she’s super tired or I sit by her crate by that doesn’t bother me the thing that does bother me is when she gets let out of the crate she freaks out whining and barking I can’t tell if it’s excitement? Or if she’s super anxious she also has to bite onto something and hold it till her whining episode is over if I don’t approach the crate with a toy she bites onto my shirt and won’t let go
I have a problem with my for month old puppy peeing Under the blanket When we go to bed .. there's pads on the floor, and he uses them, but sometimes he pees under the blanket When we go to sleep and usually get off the bed to use the pads... thank you for your help...
beautiful whippet...pls do more videos with her, we just gotna puppy whippet.
Great content. Question: How do you calm the puppy down in the crate when there is another adult dog roaming the house who is not crated and already trained? Thanks!
Thank you so much for all of your puppy content! My husband and I are excited about our new puppy and feel more prepared after studying your content. We have a question regarding nighttime crate techniques for the first week. We plan on having a plastic crate that is level with our bed (similar to your video). However, it is winter here, and we worry about the puppy getting cold. Is there something you would recommend for the first few days? We can cover the crate with extra blankets or put some in the crate. We want to avoid accidents at night as much as possible. Thank you!!!!!
I love your videos! I’m trying to improve my 9 week old Leondoodle’s crate training, esp since we have almost 10 days to focus on puppy training. She goes in for her meals, but I’d like her to nap there, etc. Crate location is in my bedroom/kitchen, where I almost always hang out (tiny Apt). She will eventually be my mobility service dog.
Do u have video on crate training for older dog that had trauma as puppy? As a puppy his paw got in slat when he was transferred in/out. Now refuses a crate, even with treats
Love watching the training videos. My dog is good in the crate but I was wondering if the Summer in Australia is too hot to crate my dog. He’s starting to get restless after going in there at night now. He doesn’t use it during the day only for sleeping overnight and he’s been great. He’s 6 months old now but making a fuss and seems unsettled for ages before sleeping. It’s not really that warm yet. Should I take out the bedding and leave the hard bottom for him to sleep on and should I still cover it with a sheet? Thanks
Have you ever used mood music to be calming also I did use music like Enya it really helps to calm down a pet .
I want to see the long form of you leaving the room and coming back immediately and seeing what the next moment was. I don't know how to progress this stage yet.
I have had my toy poodle a week he is 9 weeks now.. I didn't have a crate when we got him but I have a pen which I put a lovely comfy bed in.. during the day he will not sleep in the bed, howls and screams like his skin is being peeled off.. I go back so many times to reassure and give treats with him on the bed but he eventually falls asleep in the pen, not on the bed and even then he isn't asleep deeply as any sound and he is howling again.. today I started using the crate as a game as other videos showed and I can't imagine how long jts going to take to get him to actually stay in there without damaging his teeth on the metal.. I haven't tried to close the door yet but I can imagine that's what he will do.. he gets so tired too and extremely bitey at that stage.. if he isn't in the pen for a sleep/howl he follows me around and if I stand still he curls up on my feet.. I imagine he is suffering separation anxiety and I so want to get him calm and enjoying his sleep time but my levels of anxiety are getting high too now!
Thank you so much! We’re crate training our rescue Lab right now!
Want to get a plastic crate for my 8 week golden retriever for the initial weeks (placing it on my bed side table as you suggest). What size should I be looking at? I intend to get a larger crate with dividers for when their older
Mi Pomsky is 2 and I had to build a black out room out of wood and sound proof to put him in and he’ll immediately settle. Or the barking would last 5 hours
