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)

Dogs don't belong in crates. Call me old-fashioned, but if you don't have the tine to spend with your puppy and train him, you need to find someone who does. It's not fair. Puppies take time and care and they need to be with people. Please don't cage him up and expect him to be happy--you already know how that doesn't work.
