Had a pup lose its voice after the first weekend. Stopped there.

ace,
I have a feeling you've created this problem yourself and that's the same reason you can't fix it now.
I never bothered to ask how much time the dog spends in a crate.
And spraying a dog with water while it's locked in a crate, jesus H christ!
I feel so sorry for the dog's who must suffer some humans.
I wish I could help the dog a lot more than I want to help some people.

Die hard squirt gun user here. Some dont respond to the squirt but most will. I've had pups that grab the crate with there little teeth and just start screaming. ( it is actually kind of funny cuz they are so darn cute when they are THAT mad) They usually make great dogs but the puppy temper tantrum is not fun to live through. Ignore her it will stop. Don't give in.....

It would either piss mine off or they would want more thinking it was play.
I don't think it is a sound method for anything.

Moons,
She does spend a lot of time int he crate as I have to work. She comes with me to work and is in her crate in the back of my car. That was the best possible solution being that I can walk out at anytime and feed her, OB work, walk her, take her out for some socialization, etc. The only other option would be for her to sit at home in the crate and be there from the time I leave work till the time I get home from work.
While in my car she doesn't bark. Even when I am driving to grab lunch or take her somewhere to see something different she is quiet as a mouse.
Now at home in the garage at night when I am sleep she is quiet in the crate, not a peep.
At home she gets play time and training. If I have her in her crate IN THE HOUSE she won't stop barking. I mean non stop for a hour sometimes. Being houses out here are closer than a midget is to the ground I have to put her in the garage as I don't want it to be a pain to my neighbors. No one wants to hear that at 9 or 10pm and you can hear her 2 houses down...lol.
My 17 month old was never like this as a puppy and I HAD to keep him at home during the day while I was at work and lived too far to go home during lunch. He sits quietly all day in his crate at home.
I don't understand what is causing the insane barking when in the house when outside of the house, she is quiet.
JYL - Yeah I tried that....didn't work. Keps right on...lol
Bee - She does and she is quiet and running around playing. Now when I eat or if I am working I do have to crate her for peace of mind and also b/c I can't watch her.

It's simple, at some point you gave in to the barking.
It's hard the first time to crate train, the second time is much harder.

The insane barking is because at some point she won. So she has learned that if she just keeps it up long enough eventually you will give in. No quick fix on this one ace. Just put her in and leave her. It will stop eventually honest it will.

Moons & Bryn - You could right. I must have gave in somewhere. I don't know when as I swear I knew not to give in to the constant barks but I guess I slipped up somewhere and gave in and didn't realize it. I swore I was doing it right this time...lol
Now let me ask you guys this. Is me putting her in the garage when she continously barks a way of her winning? I never take her out of the crate, just pick it up and move it to the garage.

I live in a downtown neighbourhood so I understand having close neighbours. When we brought Senta home, I gave my closest neighbours bottles of wine and explained what would be going on (crate training) and that they could drink themselves to sleep (my neighbours are from the East Coast). Senta didn't cry in her crate but it sure made my neighbours tolerant of her from the beginning. I'll also mention that I throw a yearly party for everyone on my block with free food and endless alcohol so my street is pretty forgiving of Senta. :)

It will help you if you put an old shirt with your smell on it in the cage, or a pair of your dirty socks. This comforts the dog because it misses you.
Also, the reason it keeps on barking is because the dog has gotten a reaction from you at some point and probably more than once. You MUST
out last the dog to overcome this problem. Master Trainer, jc
