Hello!! 3 days ago we got a 8-9 week old lagotto romagnolo. Hes a crazy little guy and a sweetheart and is getting out of his shell quickly. Id like to crate train him as soon as possible while he's still young. He sleeps in my room and makes no issues during the night, but I've read about a lot of benefits from crate training, so we got him a crate. Naturally, he's scared to go inside despite my encourages and treats that I put in. I put his blanket in too so he feels more comfortable. Today he poked his head inside to try and get the treat, but backed out and whined. Its too soon to assume anything yet, but i feel like im not doing quite a good job. Im probably just overthinking though because hes tiny, he just got here and everything is still new to him. I also put his food bowl inside (close to the exit) in case that might encourage him. Im looking for some advice, critique or experiences!
