Odin's not had a bad experience and yet I have to walk him in it by his collar. Once in he's fine. He'll be a year next month. It took FOREVER but if the crate is open he'll sleep in it (if you're in the bedroom with him and only because I stopped letting him sleep on the bed). Hopefully some one else will be of help. I personally did try everything I could find on the subject and that is still how he is. My other dog Kyrie... you'd tell her go to bed and OFF SHE WENT into the crate... no problem.
Good luck and welcome to the forum!
