Accepting confinement in a crate may prove difficult if the dog is an older puppy or dog. Past history of some dogs are sometimes unknown. Some dogs may have had a bad experience in a create or an enclosure that resembled a crate. Dogs can also experience claustrophobia, especially if it is an older puppy or older dog. Use patience when introducing the crate to an older puppy or older dog. Place his food and water in the crate and he may enter to obtain water or food. Play games in the crate. Toss his favorite toy inside and he may go inside to retrieve them. Remove the top half of the crate for several days and see if he will use the bottom for his bed. Place it next to your bed every night and he may find it more comfortable than the floor. When he is using the lower half for several days, then place the top half back and see if the dog will continue to use it. If all else fails, then you may have to train your dog to use his crate. Go get your dog some tasty food rewards. Take him to the crate and sit in front of the crate with your pup. Stroke and praise him and give him a piece of the food. Place another piece inside the crate and encourage him to go inside.
