I got my lab puppy about a week ago. She's 11 weeks old. I did everything i could to get her adjusted to her crate (treats, praise, etc). she hates it. she only sleeps in it after crying for a long time. I made the mistake of letting her have alot of freedom recently and she chewed up everything in my living room and used the restroom (both numbers) all over the place. I just recently blocked her off from the rest of the house. She can only be in my room and the bathroom. the bathroom is safe and has alot of newspaper and the doors are both always open. is this ok that she whines in the crate AND at the gate blocking her off from the house?? How do i get her to like her crate and to be content only in these rooms? I walk her at least twice a day and take her in the car with me when i can. Help would be awesome.
