I start all crate training with meals- first leave the door open - after a few days shut the door- you remain calm and cool.. then oh - let out- take your time getting ready to go out- keep it calm..
As stated earlier- obviously agilityk9trainer- I totally agree about the calm- on both ends- dog and owner..
