Curious on how this is going? We have a 9 week old Boston Terrier who goes into the crate willingly but we are having similar issues. I have a 3 year old Lab X who was EASY to crate train, and my past dogs have not ever made such a fuss. Maybe I was just lucky? This is my first small breed dog as I’ve hard large dogs and I want to treat her like any of my other dogs but the sleepless nights are HARD. We’ve started leaving the room when she starts to scream, waiting until she settles and returning to the room to reward her quiet behaviour. At night when she cries we wait for her to settle before we go to take her out for a potty break. Is there something more we can do? We hand feed and do crate games, she always has a Kong or a chew in there with her but she’ll finish it and start to cry or just ignore it altogether.
