I brought my baby home 4 weeks ago. She cried when I put her to bed in the crate next to my bed. I very lovingly said, "no, go night night" (yes, I talk baby talk to my baby). My soft voice seemed to calm her.
We also have a major play session with Trixie before bedtime. It's just the typical family time with her, so she has 5 people and a Westie playing ball and tug for an hour or so. She doesn't look like she's worn out yet, but is happy when I put her in her crate now. You are also probably already doing this, but make sure she has gone outside to relieve herself just before you put her in her crate.
Be consistent, and stop leaving the door open for her. Just like a kid, she will know how to train YOU! Be careful how you reward her...only good behavior, and a kind "no" for the bad stuff.
Give it more time. Reassure your grandmother that this will all pass and you're on it with the training.
Good luck!
Kathy
