is it okay to put a muzzle on him while he is in his cage?

Answer 1

put them a big carbroad with room or let them out

Answer 2

Just ignore him.  Don't go back to check on him and he'll stop eventually.

Answer 3

put your hands around his throat and SQUEEEEEZE til he stops moving------that'll do it

Answer 4

I think even if you muzzle (which I don't recommend) he will still be able to whine and squeal. I agree with the comment about don't let the dog train you. Just like a toddler you need to reinforce that you will come back but crying and whining will not get you to take them out when they want you to. When the time is right you will.

Answer 5

just put a blanket over the pup i had to do this with my dog wen it was in the crate maybe play some music and it will still think that your there.

Answer 6

Every time you put the pup in the cage, and come back to your room because he's carrying on, you're reinforcing that he should carry on while in the crate.

Train your dog.  Don't let him train you.  Crate him, leave the room.  Don't give in no matter how much a fuss he put up.  Once he figures out that putting up a fuss yeilds no results he'll stop doing it.   The second you cave in and go to your room because he's fussing, you'll be back to square one.

Answer 7

let em out, stupid

Answer 8

i wouldn't recommend a muzzle on him but try a blanket over his crate. if he sees you up and about he will want to be up and about as well. with a blanket he will not be able to see what you are doing and will be better able to go to sleep.

Answer 9

I would cover its crate with a blanket or try to say ahh loudly when he cries I had this problem with my dog before. It can be frustrating but you can break this. He will soon understand you will not let him out if he cries and your dog will over come this. Good Luck!
