Am i right to ignore his whinning and barking and just when he is quiet after the 20 mins take him out?
Thanks,
Darren

Hi Darren,
Have you introduced the crate in the right way?
Not sure if I've sent you this link already, but you might find it useful.
And yes, you should not go to him until he has been quiet for a few minutes, no whining, barking, pawing etc.
