I am trying to crate train Rambo and he will whine, whimper and bark all night till he is tired. My friend suggested purchasing a clock that has the ticking sound, so I bought it

; nothing has changed

. He does not like the crate. I have put the crate next to my bed, in the second bedroom and left the tv on and off ( Disney channel..lol) . He will bite the bars and I am afraid that he will break his little teeth

. Rambo is only 9 weeks old, so I know it will take time. But, are there any suggestions that anyone can make so I can make his stay in the crate a good one.
I want the crate to a comfort area, not punishment.
