    Crate training
    I have a two-month-old mini doxie and he HATES his kennel. I put him in it when I leave for work in the morning and he screams, cries and bites the cage for hours after I leave. He hardly has any accidents so I know its not that he has to go he just hates being in it. I give him all his chew toys, I couple t-shirts I have slept in and a blanket we have slept with. I have tried three different types of kennels thinking it was the size, I am out of ideas and I can't take torturing him like this. Hes only in it when I leave for the day other then that he’s out and I play with him, any ideas?
