Andrew and I went grovery shopping today and we got lots of yummy treats for Drake. We got 4 fresh meaty bones and some steak. Andrew gtilled one of the bones and gave it to Drake in his crate and closed the gate. Drake was in there for over and hour. He actually fell asleep after demolishing the bone Perhaps that will help him tolerate the crate. He's very stubborn though and if he doesn't want in, there is no way I can get him to go in Yummy food always helps!!

I will try leaving him there when I am out tomorrow running errands. Thanks for the advice everyone
