I REALLY NEED HELP! i have a 6 week old puppy, he is a lab/pit bull. he was crated when he was with his mom and brothers. but now that hes crated here even if hes falling over tired he still cries! he wont stop. all night long. non stop.. we have to put him in the basement where we cant hear him but i feel so bad!!! even in my room if the door is shut he starts yelping. i know the crying is just cause hes out of what hes intouch with but everything people have said to do does NOT work. even if i lay down with him and my fingers inthe crate singing or talkign to him he SCREAMSSSSS and i cant take it. i start to cry. if anybody has ANY tips pleaseee help me.
*a vet told me not to put any hot water bottles, school clocks, blankets, or toys unless they are kongs. they choke on toys and blankets, pop the water bottle, pee on the toys and blankets. it makes a mess... so i cant put anything int here!! i put his stuffed animals outside looking in thinking that would help. it didnt.
*I take his water and food up about 2 hours before being crated and i take him to go to the bathroom and run him around alittle bit untill he gets SUPER tired and is falling over. (he still wakes up when he is put in there and starts howling)
any tips, stories, anythiiinnngg!!! just please help me! thanks sooo much in advance. (link)

I'm no expert, but I'd say to put in a doggy bed, something that he couldn't chew up and choke on you know? Put some of his toys in there, and make it as warm as possible. Also, I know when we first got our puppies that to put them to sleep easier we would heat up warm milk and put it in a bowl and give it to them during or before they go outside to play, so it has time to set in and relax them. And this sounds completely ridiculous, but for my chihuahua it worked. We got a second chihuahua and crated them together and he stopped yelping all together.
