My australian shephard-husky, Dusty is like that. I turn my back on him and ignore him until he calms down. It's frustrating cause he is a huge dog, and he'll jump on my back when I turn around. But, it was taking 20 minutes for him to calm down and now we are down to only about 1-5 minutes until he mellows out. I guess it is working. Both Dusty and Roxy go hysterical in the crate. Personally, I didn't want to force them. Especially since they were introduced to crates as adults.
