The first few days you put your dog
in the crate, the dog will most likely bark and whine. However,
after time the dog will get used to the crate and will stop barking
and whining. You should get a crate that is just large enough for
the puppy. If you want to buy a large crate because your dog will
get bigger, then stick a box or some kind of separator in the back
of the crate to make it smaller. This makes it so that the dog will
not want to go to the bathroom in its bed.

Make sure it is still ventilated and not too hot if you do this.

Bring your puppy to the crate for naps and quiet-time breaks so that he can "unwind" from family chaos.

Start in increments of 10 minutes and work up to longer periods.

Offer treats when he goes inside, and distraction toys, like a stuffed KONG.
