lol you dont want to start any of that !!! they need to get her to associate the crate with being somewhere good to be ,so maybe she gets fed in the crate but leave the door open . they should never use the crate as punishment either . When we got Daisy last year we introduced her to the crate by feeding her in it and letting her mooch about going inside as often as she liked but always kept the door open she had her bed n it too we praised her lots for going inside and gave her a treat ( this needs be no more than a piece of her food ) we gradually closed the door for short periods of time whils she could still see us pottering about then letting her out and giving praise , the first couple of night its hard cos they do cry and huskys do howl lol . if you keep going to her she will learn that howling gets a response and unfortunalely they dont mind if your cross or not as long as its got you to go to her she will keep doing it . A pup is a blank canvass and you teach it and mould it into what you want but it must always be done to your benefit they need to fit in with you not the other way round . You need to pend as much time as poss on crate training her as this keeps them safe and your property , we only kept Daisy in her crate at night till she could hold herself long enough to not pee in the house , we dont use it at all now . Huskys are also dogs that are best suited to cooler enviroments so oftem cental heating is too much for them and could be making her uncomfortable if she is hot so always have a drinking bowl of water in the crate too .
feel free to ask more .
