Hi everyone.
So our 11 week old pup is settling in a treat. She is now sleeping 8 hours at night in her crate, barely any toilet accidents in the house (usually my fault for not keeping a hawk eye on her), is learning some tricks and starting puppy classes on Monday. I’m so smitten with her
Just want a bit of advice really (she’s my first pup)- when she goes in her crate at night, she barks/whines for a few minutes then settles to sleep and stays settled all night.
She is crated for 30 minutes each morning when I do the school run. I make sure she’s fed and watered, played with and tired out before she goes in there. However she barks and cries for about 10 minutes, then settles to sleep ( I have a camera so can check on her while out).
I feel awful knowing she’s distressed for this short time- will this settle down eventually though? I give her a kong in the crate with a high value treat when I go.
She also barks (but not constantly) whenever I leave the room to go to the toilet and is very attached to me.

Will this behaviour calm down eventually? 11 week old pup.
