My partner has an almost 2 year old male Boxer, W. W used to live with my partner’s mom where he was crated in the basement all day except for 3 potty walks (~15m). Now he has been living with us and my dog for 2-3 months. W knows the cue “in” to go into his crate. However recently he’s started to jump around, try to initiate play, or run away when the cue is given. He has always whined a bit or jumped against the sides of his crate when left alone, but he will settle down after a few minutes typically. Since moving in with us, he gets more time to play with toys outside of the crate and can relax on his bed too. However he still spends a lot of time in the crate as our dogs are not able to be off leash together yet. What should we do about this regression of following his crate cue and how do we build crate duration when he has to be crated for hours every day? Should I use two crates - one for training and one for necessity - until we build up positive association and duration in the training crate? Any ideas or tips are welcome!!
