If you haven't yet, you should check out my article on <a href="http://www.naturaldogblog.com/blog/2007/08/dog-training-how-to-relax-your-dog/" rel="nofollow">how to relax your dog.</a> Focus on that, and also my article on <a href="http://www.naturaldogblog.com/blog/2007/12/crate-training-your-dog/" rel="nofollow">crate training.</a> Hope that helps. Just be patient - it can take time for habits to change, but they will as long as you're consistent and stick w/the program. :) Hi Brendan,

I’d definitely keep at it with the prey drive. If you haven’t yet, you should check out my article on how to relax your dog. Focus on that, and also my article on crate training. Hope that helps.

Just be patient – it can take time for habits to change, but they will as long as you’re consistent and stick w/the program. :)

My Bulldog, 3 years old, developed a habit of whining for attention, playing, and if I am in another room even without her being near me. Though the attention is great, the sound is grating and annoying. I would love to train her to sleep on her own bed but she wanders at night, getting into trouble and then cries to come up on the bed. Do you think putting her in a crate and just letting her cry is the solution?...Any advice you could email me would help. I have been incorporating the prey aspects in our play and I have noticed a more calming affect on her. She just doesn't relax.... Neil,
