Just bought shyla a crate as she was going mental with us not in the room so thought this may help? How wrong I was the moment the door is closed she digs, whines, barks, bites it?

We have tried everything to make it her sfae place. It has a cover a bed food ans water dish toys. we even hid treats in there but once she has found them all she starts again. She doesnt seem in the slightest bit interested in her bed she prefers to sleep on the floor!

feeling a little bit run down now as ive had no sleep and as she has yet to have her second lot of jabs I am unable to take her futher than our back garden which isnt massive.

Please help

Ben.

You say you have just bought the crate? How long has she had to get used to it? I think you should first of all, leave the door open. Keep the crate and all the goodies inside when you are there, leave the door open and see if she explores herself. Do not shut her in.

She will never go in willingly if she thinks she may not be able to get out again. That will take a lot of time, and it is her safe place, not her cage. She must be able to decide for herself to go inside.
