Lorran, that's great! Ignore the fussing in the crate; she'll get used to it.
You can apply marker training to fussing in the crate, also, by waiting for a quiet moment then marking and rewarding. You want to be really careful about letting her out of the crate only when she is quiet. If she gets an inkling that making noise will get her out of the crate you will have a much harder time getting her to accept it.
I do know not to let her out when she is making noise. This usually happens when one of us walk into that room and she is letting us know she is still in the crate. I have put a treat in the crate so she will go in and then, after she has eaten it and is quiet, will let her out so she knows that going into it doesn't mean she will never come out again! I have to admit, I have owned Malamutes for 25 plus years and Mya is probably the most stubborn one ever. Will take time but I am determined not to give up on her.
Where I live, you don't need wheels! We had snow just last week.
Randy: I purchased harnesses for both dogs since North is already trained but I am leary right now of putting them side by side. Hopefully with some of the other training I have put into place, I will be able to have them both hitched to a sled in no time.
Lynne: I had started marker training with her a while back when the aggression first started inside so she does have the basics of it down. I will continue on with it to help with the crate situation. I did see the article on this website about marker training and started reading it. May have to read it again as there is a lot of information to absorb. Thanks
Just wanted to let everyone know that things are going good inside for both dogs. Mya has settled into feeding in the crate and seems to be more patient about getting out. I can see the difference in North as he isn't as stressed with Mya 'behind bars'. He is more inquisitive around the house and a lot friendlier. After we switch them out and North goes to his crate, Mya doesn't seem to be quite so interested in harassing him. I still doubt I will ever be able to trust her loose around him but this is working. Thanks again.
I haven't had a chance to get the dogs hitched together since it has been raining for days. Forecast is for about another week of this which for our area is good but not for exercising dogs.
