My mum has a rescue dog who appears to have severe separation anxiety. She is trying to crate train him during the day but has been advised by dog person 'he must sleep in crate at night'. So if he won't go in other than to get a treat it out, how is he expected to sleep in there happily all night ?
At the moment he's been in the kitchen, screaming for an hour & the other night he pooed in there. Whether this is right, I suggested he sleep in his bed, not the crate ( as he won't go in it) in her bedroom at night, just to build hid confidence (& also so that my mum doesn't give him back)
