We have a 7 month old Pug who we have been crate training for 5 months now. He still cries constantly when you put him in at night and he wakes up every couple of hours crying and barking. Sometimes the crying can last 45 minutes - 1 hour before he tires himself out and falls asleep.
We have tried everything!! Licky mats, training in the crate, distraction toys and he ignores them completely. We have spent a fortune on comfier beds, soft blankets etc and nothing is working.
If he naps throughout the day we have to physically lift him into the crate and he only settles if you are in the room with him. We cannot leave him on his own in the crate at any point during the day.
I don’t know what else we can do at this point. We haven’t had a full night sleep in over 5 months. If anyone knows how dramatic pugs can be, you’ll know how he sounds like his life is ending!
Please help
