[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Crate train the dog. Pick a time, mid-day, and let her bark it out. Don't give in. She'll stop eventually.

Not crate training a puppy is a fast pass to insanity.

Just curious, why do you say mid day? Is this just so people won’t be home, etc.?

I will say she is good in the crate at night. [/quote]

Yes. OP wrote "...when I try to crate her for even fifteen minutes she barks her head off which can’t go on since we have neighbors." So, out of consideration for your neighbors, mid-day would be the better plan. Put the dog in the crate and go run a short errand. Come home, and if the puppy is quiet, take it directly outside to pee. If it goes, keep it out and play for a bit, then outside to pee again, then back in the crate.

Puppies should never be left unattended, and should drag a leash for easy catch/correct until they have verbal command control.

It is a rough couple months in the beginning, but if you do it right, that's all it is. They grow up fast![/quote]
