Default Dobermann puppy - crate training, constant barking. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have just got our new dobermann puppy and are currently trying to
train it in the new crate it constantly barks and does not settle
down. How can we get it used to the crate? and to stop barking We
have only had her for three days, so I know she must be missing her
family but we really need her to get used to this crate we are not
getting a wink of sleep and are up all night with her barking. We are
using the crate to help with her house training as she keeps peeing
all around the house even though we have just taken her outside!!

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You ask good questions. Everything your pup is doing is normal for a
new puppy. I recommend going to the library and looking at a few books
on housetraining your puppy. They'll all be slight variations on a
theme. Basically you start with a puppy that's not old enough to hold
it for long, keep to a schedule and do everything you can to make sure
your pup is outside when he needs to pee. When the inevitable mistakes
happen, clean up promptly and dispassionately. As your pup gets older
and can hold it longer, she'll also be able to make the connection
between his actions and yours. Then you start praising like crazy every
time he gets it right. Right now she's peeing in the house even after
she's been outside because she has no way of knowing that outside is the
right place to go.

Is the crate in the bedroom with you? That will be a big help in making
sure your puppy isn't lonely. Give your pup lots of exercise during the
day to help him sleep at night. Three sleepless nights is nothing when
you have a new baby in the house. Put the time to train and socialize
your pup now, and you'll have a great dog for years to come.

resident loon. Could you ignore it? The usual way it goes is for a new
person to post here asking for advice, followed by several posts from
the loon, followed by a post telling the new person to killfile him.
I'm trying to save time.)
