Well this is what I did, may work for you may not.
I crate trained Pnut when he was young. I dunno if it will have the same out come.
I put him in the crate, stood there waited a second, told him he was a good boy and gave him a treat. Then I closed the door, waited a second and gave him a treat, then I walked away, in his view still. Everytime he made a peep, I told him NO. I did that for about 10 mins. Then took him out and gave him a treat. I did that again, same time sane everything. I did it a couple times.
Then I started to do it the same, but I went to a different room, and when he made a peep I said No. I repreated that a couple times.
I did that during the day, by the time it was night and it was time to go in his crate to sleep he was ok. I put the crate next to me on my bed side, and he was ok, he made a couple peeps but I corrected him and he stopped...
Now, he loves his crate! I made it like a "man cave" LoL thats at least what I call it. I put a big throw blanket in there and kinda put it up on all sides so its closed in, and I put the crate in my closet. He sleeps in there every night, some mornings he wont even want to get out! Oh I leave the closet door opened too, so he stays nice and warm!
