hi this is Carol wolf doggie manners in Los Angeles I'm a dog trainer and behavior consultant what we're going to talk about today is how to keep your puppy quiet in the crate at night when you pick up your puppy he's been used to sleeping with his mom and his litter mates what that means is he's used to being in a warm spot with heartbeats and when you take him home and put him in a crate he doesn't have that unless you help them out so what you want to do is get a hot water bottle and put that underneath the pads in the crate and get a ticking clock and put that underneath as well and so that will help duplicate the sounds of the heartbeat and the warmth of his littermates another thing that you can do is get a snuggle puppy this is a snuggle puppy it comes with its own heartbeat you just put that in here and then there's a pad that you can put in the microwave to warm it up you put the pad in here and then put this right in the crate with with your puppy and he's going to think that he's with another puppy an additional thing that you can do to get your puppy to calm down at night is cover the crate so all you do is just take a towel and put it on top of the crate and sometimes that just works just like a charm what we've just talked about is how to keep your puppy quiet in the crate at night this is Carol Wolf's doggy manners in Los Angeles until next time you
