[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Give the puppy something to do.  Feed all meals in the crate, give frozen kongs or bully sticks and lots of chew toys.  Crate him in the room where you are so he learns to settle in your presence.  Step out once in a while to use the restroom or refill water or whatever.  Let him out before she becomes frantic.

And it will take months.  At 12 weeks old he shouldn't be left alone more than 2-3 hours (max 1 hour per age in months), so if you are crating for longer than that you're going to have issues.[/quote]

OP Here - We work from home so rarely during the day does he "need" to be crated, but there will probably be some time where he has to for up to an hour. We just want to prep for that before it's necessary. He's not "velcro'd" to us, he currently left his sleeping spot in my office and went into the hallway to sleep on the rug.

Okay so I freeze some tasty stuff on a lick mat that attached to the side of his crate, put that on, put him in, then walk away for a few minutes?[/quote]
