Hi and welcome. I also use the "Be Clean" command. It's so polite, isn't it?

As for crating, I use the "Kennel Up" command. I have dogs running into crates when I give the command because from the time they were little babies, the crate was associated with something great -- a high value piece of white meat chicken. I still reward the behavior. My older dogs are now just about 12 and having crate trained dogs has proven to be a great investment -- one of the dogs tore a ligament and has been confined for now 7 months except under supervision. WIthout the "kennel up" command, my 12 year old dog would have been mentally terrorized by the confinement.

Always make the crate a great experience! Before you know it, you'll be saying kennel up and your Teddy will be like my Barney - sprinting at full speed to get in there for the "reward". good luck!
