It takes a while for a dog to get comfortable in a crate. Don’t take it too fast; introduce the dog at his own pace. When your dog appears to be at ease while inside the crate with the door ajar, you can help him adjust to the crate even further by slowly latching the door and rewarding him with treats fed to him through the spaces between the wires. At first, leave the dog enclosed in the crate for only short periods of time, such as 10 seconds, and then gradually increase the duration. If you notice the animal becoming tense or confused, you are probably proceeding too quickly.
