I think I posted a reply to another thread of yours. You need to properly introduce Gidget to the crate, no matter what style of crate.

Once you properly introduce the crate (i.e. you never place the dog in the crate, but rather let the dog go in him/herself), you need to do the actual "crate training" (i.e. get your dog to like the crate and be okay in it while you're away). It takes a lot of time and effort on your part, but it's worth it.
