In an earlier post, I wrote about our dog Leo’s separation anxiety and fear of the crate. After month’s of training, he successfully learned to love the crate and went in on command. It was fun watching him run into the crate when we’d say “Go In.”

While I’m not 100% certain what caused this fear, it pains me to see him run away (even when he knows his favorite treats are inside!) with his tail tucked between his legs. I’m interested in hearing recommendations on how to re-crate train Leo. Any thoughts? All ideas are welcome! I’m reading the following in the meantime:
