Sorry if this has been done before! We picked up our new 8-week old lurcher pup on Thursday, and she’s great. We have a two-year old little terrier already and they are getting on well together (the pup is already the same size as the terrier!!). We have been crating her at night and she is a absolutely miserable. She cries all night and badly soils the crate, it’s anxious, diarrhoea soiling rather than proper poos. Our first dog always loved his crate, so we are a bit mystified and not sure what’s best to do. We are now thinking of trying her ‘free range’ in the kitchen at night, has anyone had any success abandoning crates with small puppies? We are doing all the usual things like giving her treats in her crate, leaving t-shirts with her etc.
