Put one toy or bone in the crate with her and play some music or tv for her with a humans voice.

You can also place a blanket inside, I don’t know if you had, but you didn’t mention and just place a treat under. Also @ pet stores they have little bowls made to clip on the cage door for the dog incase it gets thirsty or hungry, it’s quite expensive though
But I don’t think theres anyway for you to prevent your dog from poo’ing at that time, mine poo’s at 7
and I wake up at 7 thank god for that good ol’ alarm clock!
I forgot to mention, you might try to put the crate inside the same room with the dog inside for a while, so your dog gets the routine that it’s soppose to be their bed, but hey look my owners over there too ! that way I don’t need to be scared. Eventually when your dog get’s it just put the crate where you originally planned

Most people come across this with crate training their pups - i still do having had my 6th dog. What i find really useful is to make your pup dead tired before putting her into the crate. You just need to ignore that whining - she will learn that it will get her no where eventually. even if you go to her crate and squirt her with a bottle she wins because she got your attention. Remember she is whining so she can get you to her crate - the purpose is to get out of the crate yes, but what does she need first inorder to get out? is for you to be there - if you go there she wins. Plus you can try 5am then 5:10am then 5:20 then 5:30 - of course not 10 minutes each day - but slowly gradually - try exercising her first - walking her, playing with her before putting her into the crate, not too much fluids before going in either.

May have seperation issues. Our pups the same way, and he’s 8 months or so. Can’t put him in the garage- he’s scratched up the door (dad is mega mad!). When tied up, he freaks out (don’t trust him anyway- he’s broken ropes, leashes and a tree branch). But, if you think its food, feed her more often. Though it does depend on how much you’re feeding her.
Maybe she needs more attention, exercise, stimulation, or get rid of the crate. We had a portable kennel-crate, and he would get sick when we drove with him in it. I guess he’s claustrophic or whatever. Can she see out of it really well? Our boy couldn’t, and that’s why he freaked out, got carsick and hates that thing now. He also whined a lot when we weren’t with him 24/7 when we first got him. Try saying “ah-ah-ah-ah!” He’d stop. We’d praise him. If he started again, we’d repeat. This may or may not work for you, though.
If all else fails, ignore it, or take him to training. The vet may have a few things to say or point you in the right direction.

Try an experiment: For a week keep your normal routine except try keeping her food dish at least half way full most of the time or whenever you notice that it’s empty.
I do this with my Angelina and she’s pretty good about only eating just enough.
Unlike humans Most animals tend to eat only enough of their staple food to maintain their normal weight.
That’s not to say that a dog won’t gorge itself on treats, they will.
They will also tend to exercise a little harder after wards because of the excess energy.

Sounds like you’ve thought of just about everything…. except puppies may need smaller more frequent meals. try every 8-10 hrs as opposed to twice a day. Adult dogs can be fed twice daily. You would tell a baby he had to wait until you felt like feeding it. Remember everything about puppy is smaller until he reaches adulthood, stomach, bladder, kidneys, stomach, and bowel.Puppy can be treated as an adult after approximately one year.

It’s been shown that having to “be dominant” is a waste of time. Hope you abandon that way of thinking so that you can train your dog effectively.
If you want a behavior to stop, ignore it. If you want to encourage a behavior, then reward it. Remember that any form of attention is a reward.
You’re on the right track in continuing to reward your dog for hanging out quietly in her crate, and for giving her interactive toys. Continue to completely ignore the whining (if you are sure that she is empty) and it will stop. Spray bottles are not appropriate for this. Good luck!

Just like a baby, which she is, she is whining because she needs something. Puppies her age should be fed 3-4 times a day. Going 12 hours between meals is much too long for her. Try giving her a snack (split her meals into smaller meals) before bedtime, then have a handful of kibble available for her to munch on after she comes in from the 5am potty break. Give her a chew toy to keep her busy also. Make sure she gets lots of exercise the night before. This has nothing to do with domination or punishment–she has a need that needs to be met.
