Im srry for that problem! Well, spend time playing with the dog! Make sure that its not that he has an empty stomach or he is dehydrated. Also, you MUST make sure that he knowss you love him whenever he's at the kennel. Did you try giving him a blankie or a toy? Maybe he just misses you or he is really bored!!! GOODLUCK :)

Before you lock your dog in his crate, make sure he he is fed, watered, and has gone to the bathroom. If you've done all this, he's probably just crying because he doesn't want to be locked up or doesn't want to be alone. Understand that *every* time you give in to his whining, even by popping your head in for a peek, you're training him to keep whining. For a dog, there's no difference between "I sit and I get a treat" and "I whine and I get what I want". Effectively, he is training you to do what he wants and he sees whining as a "get out of jail free" card. That being said, it's not fair to lock a dog up if he's hungry, thirsty, or needs to toilet, *especially* a puppy or sick dog. Also realize that a dog (especially a puppy) can't be locked up for hours on end. If you dog has been quiet for an hour or two and starts whining, then most likely he genuinely needs to go out and should be attended to. However, every time you give in to whining for attention you teach him to do it more
