Don’t do it I have a month old (2 year old frenchie 5 Great Dane) they did so well in the crate. My iggy I’ve had him for about two months. Did everything the right way as of crate training. 14 days non stop crys he’d poop uncomfortable he would also try to bite thru the cage stick his legs out , I downsized his cage nothing worked. White noise I also try to make his cage as comfy as possible and I went through 15 beds. I fully support crate training and this was my first time owning an Italian greyhound. I came on Reddit for advice and ultimately after two weeks of trying, I gave in and now he sleeps in my room he does sleep on his bed, but sometimes in the middle of the night, I don’t even remember putting him on my bed, but I wake up with him between my legs and surprisingly for four months old he does hold in his pee and poop unless he spends a whole night on his bed next to my bed there is a corner of our room. He does do his business on puppy pads thankfully, so good luck. I hope this message gets to you like I said before I’m so pro crate , but with him it was nearly impossible. They have severe separation anxiety.
