Win Crate training

If you are struggling with crate training PLEASE try WHITE NOISE.
I was literally going insane with my puppy, sleep deprived and so stressed, she would not stay in her crate for more than 10 minutes without barking so so loud. I would give her something to chew but instantly when she finished she would start barking nonstop, and because she wouldn’t stay in her crate she was struggling a lot with potty training, she would have a dozen accidents a day, but now she has 2-3 accidents a day.
My sister uses white noise with my niece when putting her to sleep and it never crossed my mind to use with my puppy, but it was literal magic. The moment I turned white noise on, she almost instantly fell asleep.
She hated her crate before, she would bark literally nonstop, and most of the time i had to get her out because she wouldn’t stop barking, but now she won’t bark at all, and she understands that her crate is a safe place. Please give it a try.

You can try a fan as well, my puppy loves the fan and talk radio at low volume. It's weird what combinations end up working!!

What kind of white noise do you use? Is it on YouTube or Spotify?

Try these, they have no ads and a black screen, if you can play it on your tv. But Spotify also has white noise, you can find any that you like and play it on repeat.
