    So pretty much he's telling you what he wants and you're complying. It should be the other way around whether he likes or not. You absolutley need to train him to sleep in the crate, but it has to be his crate an area where he goes to feel comfortable. If he does something bad don't punish him by putting him the crate because he'll associate his crate wih negativity. After you get him crate trained than you can have him sleep in your bed, but it has to be you that gives him permission to sleep there.

    what kind of cage is it? i find that many dogs like to lay under things, however an open type metal cage does not have a protective effect. if it is this type of metal cage i found that draping a blanket over and around it gives it a protective type environment.

Once its established that your the boss, work on ensuring they know what simple commands mean.. When she would whine at night (and it was obvious it was not for bathroom purposes) I would get up and un-cover the crate (we kept it in the bedroom) and talk to her, calming her but wouldnt take her out of the cage! If she started up again she would get a firm, deep voiced NO. Once a dog learns the word NO, training becomes quite easy

    Honestly I hate to say this but I have seen my grandfather have almost 10 different dogs from retrievers to german shepards to collies. They were perfectly behaved because any time they would act up he would give them a smack across the nose. I know its like cruelty to animals, but tell that to a 87 yr old that has seen 2 wars and raised 4 kids during a depression and shit. Its just a softer society today.

    Or watch the dog whisper alot

    I have a 10 month old rottweiler and when he was a pup i use to have to get up around 3-4 times a night so he could use to bathroom, but as they get older they stop the whinning. I also never put him in a crate he sleeps on the floor next to my bed or the front door, hes definity a guard dog.
