We all want our dog to be as happy and healthy as possible. Here's some great advice from TV vet Scott Miller on how to achieve that:
Advice on how to tackle barking when your dog is in his crate.
Most dogs take to crate training without any problems, even though they would rather stay out of their crate, where they have fun with you. There are some dogs that just don’t want to go in their crate at all and they will bark and whine to try to get you to let them out. Fortunately, this is something that you can fix, although you’re going to need put some time and effort into it. Keeping your dog's crate in the family room may ease some of the barking.
Crufts is only days away, and there's always lots of great doggy people in attendance. Dr Roger Mugford will be one of them, and you can hear an interview with him in Episode 48 of DogCast Radio.
‘Founding Father’ of pet behaviour therapy,

Top animal psychologist, Dr Roger Mugford, will once again be offering free advice to visitors on the Company of Animals’ stand at Crufts on any aspect of canine behaviour.
I was recently asked what was the best dog related advice I had been given. It was quite an easy question really, because something Graeme Sims said sprang straight into my mind. He said that the secret of good training was to love your dog so much that they can't resist you. I think that applies to life with a dog in general, not just training, but certainly if you apply that to life in general with a dog, I think you get better training results.
