Crate Training Your Pug Puppy

I wanted the crate to be my Pug puppies' special place, so I put down a blanket inside and threw in some toys and treats. This way it looked like a fun place for her to spend time in.
My Pug puppy poked his head inside and then went all the way to play with his toys and eat his treats. Most of the time, I left the door to the crate open so that he could go inside whenever he chose.
After I took my Pug out for his nighttime pee, I ushered him into his crate for the night. If he sounded like he was in pain or had to relieve himself, I went to check on him; otherwise, I left him alone.
The first three nights were the hardest on us, what with all her wailing! However, I just tried my hardest to ignore it and even on the second night, I could tell she was getting used to it already.
