What should I do if I want to crate train my dog but my dog is scared of the cage?
I really want to crate train my shiba inu puppy that is 6 months (we got her at 6 months also) and i put a quilt and a couple of pillows to make the cage comfy and i also put her favorite treats and toys in there. but whenever i put her inside, she would run away as if she's scared of the cage.
what should i do?
Take it slowly - and NEVER force her inside of the cage - that will only reinforce her fear. You're doing good by putting her favorite things in there - just leave the door open and wait for her to go inside. When she does, make sure you praise the heck out of her. When she goes in willingly, you can close the door behind her - but only for a few minutes at a time. Gradually increase the time she is in it, and always praise her when she is in the crate and being a good girl. Eventually she will get used to it - I have always found having it covered is more comfortable for the dogs - it's more "den like" and easier for them to quiet down. I cover 3 sides & leave the door side open. They also prefer to be near the family, so make sure you don't isolate them while they're in the crate - have it in the familyroom or another area of the house where they can see and hear what's going on.

Problems You Might Encounter Making Use of Dog Crates or Dog Cages
Many dog owners understand the benefit of crate training their dog. Simply training it to stay quietly in the dog crate or dog cage can be an immense boon to dog owners who would otherwise have to deal with a constant active dog. Crate training can be a difficult process, and dog owners will sometimes find themselves facing a few problems. The list below are some of the more common problems associated with making use of a dog crate or dog cage.
The first problem comes about as a result of dogs spending too much time in dog cage or dog crate. A crate is hardly a magical enclosure that you can happily place your dog in whenever you need to keep it confined to a single area. Keeping a dog crated all day and all night, for example, simply is not good for your dog’s health. A dog needs space to move around and exercise, and being crated for too long can result in your dog’s health deteriorating. Owners of puppies should also note that puppies should never be kept in dog cages or dog crates for more than three to four hours at any one time, as they are unable to control their bowels and bladders for longer.
Some dog owners also find that their dog whine when placed in their dog cage or dog crate. This can be extremely annoying, especially if it takes place at night. The problem is that whining can either be your dog simply trying to get out of its crate to play, or it may need to urinate or defecate. It is often hard to tell exactly which one it is. A good way of telling the difference is to use the phrase that your dog associates with going outside to urinate or defecate. If your dog responds excitedly to that phrase, then it is a good bet that it really needs to go outside to eliminate. If, however, this is not the case, then you should simply wait for your dog to stop whining of its own accord.
Some dog owners will use a dog cage or dog crate as last resorts when they find their dogs running amok and destroying or chewing up things while they are away. They believe that by placing their dogs securely in a dog crate or dog cage they will be able to control their dogs while they are away. Often, however, such behavior is the result of separation anxiety, and crating such dogs can be a bad idea. Instead of destroying household items, they may injure themselves in an attempt to escape from their enclosures instead. Such a problem will require the attention of a dog expert.
