I apologize for re-posting, I am not sure why the thread has been closed yet...my question was:
Once he stops screaming, when is it safe to go take him out of the crate to take him out? 1 minute? 5 minutes?
Thank you so very much for your help. This was not a question I found addressed anywhere on the forum, website, or Ed's puppy DVD.

We've been crate training our 8-week old Brittany, Charlie, for the entire week we've had him. The shrieking and wailing continues (and continues...), but my question is this:
Once he stops screaming, when is it safe to go take him out of the crate to take him out? 1 minute? 5 minutes?
We want to make sure he learns that we ignore the screams, so how long before he forgets that he was screaming? We are paranoid about doing the wrong thing and reinforcing the screaming!
The question was answered.....and it is addressed in the huge article on Ed's site that I put the link up for. Thats why the thread was closed. There is no set minutes to wait, just don't take him out while he is crying/screaming/barking/whining.
