Once he entered in the crate close the door and let him inside for 10 to 15 minutes. In the starting, he may bark or cry but let him inside the crate and once he completed his time and takes him out with a surprise treat as an award for him. After 1 or 2 hours place him back in the crate and repeat the same process in a day. In this way, you can make your dog as a trained German shepherd.
