Hi! My wife and I just got our first Vizsla puppy (~9wks) and we are loving him so far! While obviously we are going through the normal puppy stages I have a few questions. Crate training. In order to get him in his crate at night I have been playing with him and tiring him out and then letting him fall asleep next to me, while he is tired I transfer him into his crate and get little to no whining. The issue is when it is not at night and we have to go run errands during the day or have to leave the house. We put him into his crate and he screams for about 30 minutes before calming down. Is this normal? Does this ever stop?

Second.
When I shower in the mornings before work he goes absolutely ape shit with crying and shaking, I bring his toys in there/ food and even tried showering with the curtain open so he could see me but that didn’t help. Any advice on this? Any other training tips or just advice is helpful!

Thank you!
