Need advice on how to settle my 8 week sbt on a night and day
Iv recently bought a 8 week old SBT she is settling in fine but the only thing is when we go to put her in her cage for her breakfast,dinner,Tea,Supper and at night when we go to bed she will whine nd cry n bark all time..Can someone tell me the best to settle her and how to relax her while she in her cage as I have a 2 year old daughter who wakes up at the slightest noise lol

How have you tried to get her used to the crate, and why does she have to have her meals in it?

We carnt put a ticking watch in there with her as she has a tendency to pull her blankets off her bed so probz just chew it and a top with r scent on it woadnt work as she woald just chew it up and the reason why she eats in there is because both my daughter have meals at the same time exept supper which the cage door is open,we have given her treats in there aswell trying to make it a nice place for her...she was in a cage with her litter mates before we got her so she shoald be uster it..think it's separation anxiety from her mums and brother n sisters

An article of clothing with your scent, a blanket over the crate, and a radio or TV left on at low volume

I think you are rushing her. when you are in the room she wants to be with you & not shut in the crate. you need to go right back to basics and re-introduce her to the crate gradually - first with the door open and maybe throwing treats in, and then with the door shut for a couple of seconds at a time, gradually increasing the time. it will take a while, but it will work. if you force her to stay in the crate she will come to hate it.
I don't think you should feed her in her crate - she must get used to your daughter being around when she eats - if you make sure your daughter eats at the table (or high chair - I don't know how old she is) then there shouldn't be any prioblems with feeding them at the same time?
