Sorry for your situation. I brought General Patton home three weeks ago. Since the first day, he has adjusted to the crate at night v.well. He may cry a minute or less and then he stops. When I shower etc, he may cry a little longer in order to get my attention. During the day while I am off to work, General Patton stays in his XP pen.
What I would suggest is for you to put toys and make it comfortable. Get a receiving blanket, rub it with some of your smell, and put it in his crate> Hopefully, that works. Try to put him to bed with the same routine every night. And I agree with the others, don't open the crate when he starts crying; otherwise, you'll reinforce bad behaviors. Good Luck!
