My AB's crate is in my bedroom. I 've had her for about 2-3 weeks now. When she needs ot pee she cries, but when she wants to play she whines. I guess after a while you get to learn to hear the difference. Also when introducing the crate to your pup, make it a good one, do not force the dog in there. let the pup in but do not close the cage immediately. You want the puppy to know that the crate is it's "cave" and feels confortable in there not trapped.
btw be prepared for endless potty trips about every hr or 2 hrs. :shock:
