Excellent advice above for helping your situation. The only thing I would like to add has to do with your putting him in the crate as a time out or "punishment". If you want him to like his crate, or have a chance at liking his crate, never ever use it as a punishment place. For most dogs, it takes enough work to make the crate someplace they like. If its used to punish, they will never like it, and might even begin to fear it. That can present other problems when you want to use it because you are leaving, or need to do something when you can not watch him. Try to use other places as your time out place. Good Luck.
