Oh I did also research a bit on this matter, and came up with a few solutions (Dont know if they are good ones or not)

* putting music or talk on
* put an old shirt or something in the smells like us
* put the crate in a room furthest from our bedroom
* put the crate in the bedroom with us
* instead of using the enclosed pet taxi as a crate, use an open type crate so he can see more things
* put his food and water in the crate with him
* give him toys to keep him occupied (which we do)
* put some sort of warm water filled thing under his pillow and blanket in the crate with him (I thought perhaps this would be for younger pups who just got separated from the litter
* put a ticking clock in the crate or room with him (again, I thought this would be more for younger pups)

Has anyone used any of those suggestions? Has any worked or not worked?

Have you used any others that worked well, or didn't work well (so I dont try that lol)

Thanks so much!
