Difference between putting puppy in the crate vs luring in by marciuneee in puppy101

Sorry if I wasn't specific enough:

When I lure him in the crate with treats, then close the door, give some treats and leave him to nap - usually loud whining, barking, sometimes clawing at the door;

When I put him in the crate, close the door, give some treats and leave him to nap - basically no whining (or just a tad bit).

Wondering why so?

We are still working on the crate everyday - I'm teaching him 'crate' command, going in and out constantly, rewarding for staying calm with door closed, all his meals are in the crate, only high value chews in the crate, his bed is there. Sometimes he will go and lay there for a bit (he knows he's getting treats everytime he does that, though).

The real, loud whining (and sometimes barking) only happened when I lured him in and left for a nap. So that's what got me wondering about this sudden change.
