I have had problems with both male & females with the crating issue. Mostly it depends on the temperament/attitude of the dog. Seems that most dominant ones have a harder time of it but then also does the insecure ones that crave for your attention. It is just a matter of them learning that the vrate is a good place & give them sufficient attention when they are out with you. Never us the crate a a correction tool & always praise them for going in on their own.
