- You need to make sure that your puppy does not associate the crate with punishment or a bad experience,
- If your puppy does not like his crate and hates going in it – you will need to purchase a new one.
- If your dog has developed a real hatred of his den you will need to start puppy crate training from the beginning – you need your pooch to see it as a dog training tool and device rather than a prison.
- Purchase a new aluminum or plastic folding crate it can even be made of wire as long as it is safe for your pooch. Don’t buy one that is too big otherwise he will be able to potty in the corner and stay dry.

- If you have placed your pooch in his den and he is whining and whinging, ignore him but as soon as he stops give him a treat and lots of praise. Your puppy will soon associate not whining with getting a nice treat some praise or a reward. This is also known as classical conditioning.
- Let your pooch sleep in his crate but if he is really young play some games with him and take him for a run around the garden – you need to really get your pooch tired before he goes to bed. A tired puppy is less likely to whine.
