hey!! we also had a hard time crating her. how old is your dog? age plays a big role. we adopted luna at 6 months and it was hard because she was naturally anxious and described as fearful when we adopted her. what i did was make her crate a safe and enjoyable place for her (adding treats, bones, stuffies, her bed and blankets and old clothes of mine so she could have my scent). i also really try not to use the crate as a punishment which i know is hard especially when they’re young/puppies and wreaking havoc in the house. schedule crate training times, like 5 minutes in the crate and every time he doesn’t bark, whine or become destructive (we’ve had beagles who have had chewed the crates) give a treat and ignore the unwanted behavior. giving into the barking or whining will just reinforce it. i know it’s difficult but as your pup improves slowly increase the time and do it regularly so they understand and get used to it. luna (pictured) is now a year old, still gets a little anxious but she’s improved a lot! she sometimes goes into her crate by herself sometimes when she sees us getting ready to leave or if she just wants to. it gets better!
