Crate is
NEVER to be used as punishment if you want them willingly go in it. I have never used a crate for any puppy I ever had, I confined them to the kitchen. My cousins all have crates for their yorkies and their babies LOVE their crates, they hide their "stuff" in it, take their "Don't bother me" NAPS in it, that is their "safe haven". Try an x-pen for confining him to a small area. You can place his crate , pee pads, toys food and water bowl and he will still have room to walk and play.
