Re: crate - am I doing this right?

thanks for all the advice
Storm is asleep in his crate with the door shut It took about half an hour for him to settle and he was v vocal!!! but it was time for his nap so I knew he was tired, I kept saying "go to sleep" and "lie down" in a soothing voice and sat where he could see me. Dont know if he will be the same next time but at least he has settled down in the crate for a sleep now.
Did I do this correctly? I feel mean for letting him cry for half an hour but I know if I let him out when he cried he would realise crying meant he got his own way.
