Crate Training 8 week old Border Collie

Hi all, I am in need of advise.
My Girlfriend and I have recently become parents of a Border Collie X
His name is Brooklyn, we've had him for about a week, and can already tell he is smart as a whip!!
While we will have many challenges moving forward, our first and most concerning is...
Whenever we put him in his crate, whether it is to eat, sleep or when we go out. He cries, barks and screams like a banshee!! It honestly sounds like he is in pain, we've tried to ignore him, but I am sure you can sympathize with us when we feel the need to make sure he hasn't caught his colar on something.
Our vet says his crate should be a happy place, so whenever we give him treats or feed him we put it in his crate.

It's been a full 7 days of gut wrenching sleepless nights.

I guess we just need some assurances that we are doing the right thing?
If not, can you make any other suggestions for crate training?

thank you!
Logan
