Re: What do you have in your dog's crate?
I'll start by saying I'm absolutely no expert lol . . . . but anyway, Tilly has her blanket and a chewable toy, no food or drink. When she was new (she's 4 mnths now) she had a blanket and teddy that had been with her mother and I think that helped enormously as she was fine after a couple of nights.
I'm finding the light mornings a pain though as she wants to get up at 5

Hot water bottle!!! And a jumper of yours that youve worn for a few days. A towel with their littermates scent on is usually a good idea too.

Re: What do you have in your dog's crate?
I have never used a crate before I got this pup. I have a large cage (that I had anyway) and a plastic travelling box that she had to travel in for several hours to get here. So I keep that inside the cage, not sure she really needs the cage as well but at least she can have a bit more space. There is a soft blanket and a couple of soft toys and a couple of chews and an old bone. I dont put water in and as she spills it and I dont feed her in it. I imagine that as soon as she can control her bladder a bit better (she is completely clean and dry in the cage) I will gradually stop using it and leave her in the utility room with the other dog.

Welcome to the forum. I would suggest that the only thing you need to leave in the crate at night are an old blanket, and a safe chew toy such as a puppy Kong. As your puppy will not have control over her bladder/bowel until around 6 months, it is best not to leave water in the crate at night, during the day when you crate her for short periods yes, but not at night.

Re: What do you have in your dog's crate?
at night we put a blanket, some of our old tops so that he had something with our smell with him to comfort him, a screw type water bowl with only a small amount of water in it, in the day time he would have some toys with him.
we never put pads or newspaper in the crate as we believe that they would never go the toilet in the sleeping area, and he never did use it for a loo
