Because he has improved a lot at
night, I am hopeful that just a
few days
of daytime
crate practice will be enough to stop the frequent barking.
After a
few days
of this
crate training «puppy schedule», your puppy will also be able to spend
nights in the
crate in its permanent location, and will not need to be by your bed — because she will have settled in with you and will now associate the
crate with your presence.
