here is a little trick for crate training, always feed your dog in their crate with the door closed.
Soon your dog will run into their crate when they know its feeding time.
this also helps with potty training as they will try hard not to mess in their crates. just make sure to take them out right after you let them out.
it doesn't take very long for them to associate joy of eating and their crate as a fun safe place.
Your dog will love their crate (and usually sleep in it putting themselves to bed i it) after 6 months of this.
