Our's was in our room first night in crate but I made the mistake of leaving it open. She cried a few seconds not to be on the bed with us then fell asleep. But woke crying, very briefly, 5 times in the night.
Next night, she cried til we took her bed out of the crate and let her sleep on the floor on her bed next to me. Only woke a couple of times and went straight back to sleep when I put my hand next to her.
Third night she managed to jump onto our high bed and I was terrified of her falling off or us rolling on her in the night so compromised and put her bed at our feet, where she slept a couple more nights, waking several times and walking on my head, so I had to gently put her back into her bed where she stayed and fell back asleep although I woke to find her on my head again in the morning.
By the end of the week we were so sleep deprived, we made her go cold turkey. Waited til she was sleepy and left her crate in the living room - closed it and walked out. She cried on and off most of the night.
The next night - in the crate again. We said we'd give it a few more days and if she couldn't settle, bring the crate up to our room and suffer the crying at closer quarters. She settled immediately, didn't cry once and slept through the night.
Have had her 2 weeks today and last night she took herself to her crate around 10 pm and we had to wake her when we went to bed to toilet her.
It seems a bit brutal going cold turkey but we ballsed it up. Should have been in the crate first night, closed. Our mistake was leaving the crate open. We fully intended to settle her in the crate next to our bed and slowly move it to the door, then the hall, then downstairs. But I was wrongfooted by someone saying to me "Put her in the crate but leave it open".
Although that said, we now already have her safely in the crate all night in the warmest spot in the house, and that first night when we left her and she cried - she doesn't seem to have any negative feelings about her crate as she choose to go in it. We did feed her at least one meal a day in the crate and put her toys and treats in there, though so had already worked hard to establish it was a fun place.
I crate trained my last staffy, 14 years ago, when crate training was a fairly new thing and it was one of the best things we ever did. By the time he was one, the crate door was never closed ever again but we left the crate and his bed under the kitchen table and when he had enough or wanted some peace and quiet, he'd head straight for it. It was his absolute place of safety. My other dog came to me aged 2 not crate trained and past the age where she needed it but I often felt she missed out as he had a 'den' and she never did. Somehow a basket is not as good.
