Hi all!!!!!! i just bought a shih tzu few day ago, but i found that he always bark while i put him inside the cage. Could someone tell me how could i train my dog cause he too active.
I dunno if I am doing this right but what I do when Lil' Monster (Pekingese Mix) barks when he is the cage is to ignore him. He will eventually get the idea that barking won't get him free or attention for that matter.
I do the same too. I normally put a treat in the cage for my puppy to walk inside the cage herself then close the door. I will totally ignore her when she barks and whine by going on to do my own biz whitout giving her even eye contact. Must be able to tahan the noise thou. I will only let her out when she is totally calm and quiet. She is getting better now with less whining and barking in the cage ... hopefully she gets the idea one of these days.
For my experience is, puppy will bark when u kept him inside the cage, cos he wan to be free. Last time i also do like this after i realize my puppy she cry and simpily pee and poo. After i let her free, she was know where to pee and poo... like she want to " Kon Yee" to me !! Enjoy Ur training!! ~~~ AsHLeY ~~~
