Hi CountryCowGirl!

I got Gully, my Smooth Collie, at 9 wks old and he just hated the crate. Had all 4 paws spread out, not wanting to go in. So I started tossing a treat in there everytime I put him in it. Fed him his dinner in it. Gave him rawhides and Kongs filled with peanut butter in it. And everytime I put him in, I'd say "Go get in your bed". It didn't take long before he was running in there with even a hint of me getting him a treat or if I said "Go get in your bed". He loves it now.

Make it a great place to be and Itty will too.
