Random couch question: for those of you with dog crate-training experience, do they usually whine in the beginning of the training? I am trying to ignore her b/c if I let her out now, she's got me.

In her defense, because I know I very badly need to suck it up, I just got her from the shelter today, & I know she is anxious b/c she has no idea where she is or who the heck I am. She also just got spayed today, so I put her in the crate with a bully stick, because she had too much energy for fresh sutures, & I really need to keep her calm tonight.

She was a stray, but she hopped in my car right away leaving the shelter & walked in & out of the crate with her new toys. She definitely knew what a couch was, but won't stop jumping up and down (not a suture-friendly maneuver).
