Syd is crated at night and when we are not home. And she probably always will be because she can't be trusted alone. LOL.

She actually loves her crate. She did a little bit of crying her first 2 nights and we ignored her and that was the end of that. Her crate is her safe place. When she is in there she doesn't have to worry about what is going on outside...she can just rest.

I would just ignore her cries...if you want to keep her crated at night. She will calm down. Make her crate comfortable by putting an old sheet or blanket in there so she can make a comfy nest to sleep in. Also never use her crate for punishment...it is just a place to sleep.

Good luck
