Crating a new puppy w/ one puppy already crate trained - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Me again...

Sorry for all the training posts. I didn't realize I would have so many questions about raising two puppies.

Anyways, here it goes...thanks in advance for all you help!

I'm trying to crate train my new puppy, the same way I did for my older puppy. The problem is, when I crate him, he cries because he sees my older puppy isn't in a crate. My older puppy would come up to his crate and sniff him and make contact. I think this upsets my new puppy.

My older puppy is already housebroken and he earned my trust to walk freely. It took him a good 3-4 months of crate training! I don't want to crate my older puppy so my new puppy won't cry.

I thought about crating my new puppy and putting him in another room, but I want him to be able to see me so he can feel a little comforted.

What do you all suggest?

I put Jasmine in her crate in another room and turn the TV on for her and she does fine as long as she has the noise. Good luck!
