hello everyone

Hi everyone,
just wanted to say hello as I have just got my first staffy, a lil girl. Luna. was wondering if any of you had any advice on crate training as her first night was horrible, She cried and howled, trashed everything and pretty much none of us got any sleep! I just want to know if there is anything I'm not doing that I should be or if i'm doing anything i shouldnt be, any advice would be much appreciated

Welcome to the forum!

I can assure you it's very normal behaviour. I was near in tears on my first night haha. Crate training works incredibly well. I'd advise you to post a crate training question in the puppy section of the forum, and you'll get a much better response.

ok, thank you, yes, I was close to tears myself just felt so sorry for her. I'll go to the puppy bit now

Hi and welcome from me, Millie and Bella

hi there from salt n pepper and kids lovely dog you have, welcome from all of us.
it is harder if you have one dog try putting the crate close to the bedroom where the dog can here you breath, they only go in the crate to train their bladder and stop them urtinating in house, as they will not like to urinate in their own domain but accidents will most probably happen for a few days, soon as she out of crate take her straight outside she will soon get used to it, good luck
