Good Morning,

New to the form, had a few posts a few weeks ... Just recently added a new addition to our family, 13 wk old female Siberian, Lucie.... It's been a very long time since we've had a puppy & have completely forgotten the struggles they go through the first few nights away from her litter mates.... Any suggestion on nighttime crate training..only day 2 and very little sleep for all of us....

Stuffed toys sometimes help. Warm water bottles wrapped in a towel to simulate other hot bodies nested with them. For the most part they just have to work through it. Don't coddle her or run to her every time she cries. Some have their crate in the room with them which can help as well but can make for a cumbersome moving of crates if you don't want to crate in the bedroom all the time.

thanks for the tips.... we'll see how well it goes tonight

alright...took 4 days and now she's liking the crate....... training is going good as well, she seems very intelligent...short quick training sessions daily seems to be the key with her....

You can gradually increase those training sessions, Huskies are notorious for "working" their owners so you're going to have to stay one step ahead of her.

Lucie is a cute puppy and she'll give you years of love, attention and frustration. It always helps to remember that they were bred to haul sleds and the lead dogs always had to be looking for things that weren't safe - even if the 'driver' though they should be. They are headstrong with a lot of genetic reasoning behind it!
