josh manners Webboard User Reg: 01-13-2004 Posts: 26 Loc: Offline	We got a 2.5 year old male gsd about 3 weeks ago. His out of kennel behavior is great, no other problems... but... if we tell him to go in his crate he will no problem, he is fine if we sit in the room with him, but if we walk out of the room its like he throws a temper tantrum. He will cry and "scream" for about 5 minutes and then lay down and relax. He has a chewy that he likes to chew in his crate. What, if any, is the proper way to train him out of this behavior? He is crated when we are out of the house and at night- but during the day i am home alot since im in college... He gets lots of walks too. His crate is in our living room. We first put it in a side bedroom but then moved it to the livng room so he would be more central in the house. Other than moving the crate the one time we have tried to be as consitstant as possible to get him used to our routine.

Also, once he's quieted return and give a good treat and praise the quiet. He needs to learn that quiet will get you back in the rooom faster than raising he77. If this doesn't work or doesn't work thoroughly, get a bark collar and go through the same routine with reward and the added bonus of a correction for barking.
