Great points, TwoLostSouls!
When I put him in & just walk away, he goes crazy - whines, barks, bangs around, pulls up the bedding, etc.
I thought maybe I need to calm him down first? So now I put him in, get him to sit & lie down, pet him until he is calm, then I close the door & walk away. He still whines & barks but it seems to be less panicked... At least I think so?
I do feel bad putting him in there though, so maybe he picks up on that.
I thought maybe he was freaking out because he just spent all night in his crate and he doesn't want to be in there again so soon.
I can't have him barking that early when we're gone though, so I'm still at a loss for what to do?
