Q: I REALLY NEED HELP! i have a 6 week old puppy, he is a lab/pit bull. he was crated when he was with his mom and brothers. but now that hes crated here even if hes falling over tired he still cries! he wont stop. all night long. non stop.. we have to put him in the basement where we cant hear him but i feel so bad!!! even in my room if the door is shut he starts yelping. i know the crying is just cause hes out of what hes intouch with but everything people have said to do does NOT work. even if i lay down with him and my fingers inthe crate singing or talkign to him he SCREAMSSSSS and i cant take it. i start to cry. if anybody has ANY tips pleaseee help me.
*a vet told me not to put any hot water bottles, school clocks, blankets, or toys unless they are kongs. they choke on toys and blankets, pop the water bottle, pee on the toys and blankets. it makes a mess... so i cant put anything int here!! i put his stuffed animals outside looking in thinking that would help. it didnt.
*I take his water and food up about 2 hours before being crated and i take him to go to the bathroom and run him around alittle bit untill he gets SUPER tired and is falling over. (he still wakes up when he is put in there and starts howling)
any tips, stories, anythiiinnngg!!! just please help me! thanks sooo much in advance.

I myself am also a vet.
And you should NEVER crate dogs unless its for sleep. You wouldnt want to be shut in a box all day would you?
Labradors are EXTREMELY sociable and not to mention energetic. You need to take him for a long walk before bed, so as to tire him out, then place into his crate to sleep, then in the morning take him out again, but dont re-crate him. Its just not fair.
You should never have an animal if you dont have the time for it.
The best thing to do, is tire him before bed with a long walk, and use it only for night time sleep.
Crates arent nice for anyone or anything, really he should have a cosy dog bed.
