5 month old puppy suddenly hates his crate after loving it — fear period or regression?

Hey everyone,

Looking for some advice or reassurance. My 5 month old puppy, Murphy, used to love his crate. He’d nap in there for 2–3 hours during the day and it let me actually leave my apartment for a bit to do errands since I’m raising him solo.

After a weekend camping trip, he suddenly wants nothing to do with it. If I put him in, he barks and cries nonstop. The weird part is he’s totally fine sleeping in it at night.

Is this maybe a fear period or just a random setback? Has anyone else had this happen and managed to fix it? I’m feeling kinda stuck and just want to get back to where we were.
