If you can stick the crate problem out you will be so happy that you did. The first few nights that I got Buddy he cried when I put him in his crate (I put him in a room where I could not hear him...otherwise, I would of gotten him out because I felt bad for him). I PROMISE it gets better!!! They learn sooooo quickly that if they cry you will come get them!!! Don't go get your furbaby when he cries.... when you do go get him it is like you have to start all over again!!! It is called "tough love"!!!!
I just got another new furbaby this week....she too cried the first night when I put her in the crate but I ignored her...she only cried for a few minutes. Since that night she has not cried once when I put her to bed at night!!!!
Keep trying....I promise it will get better!!!
