The crate is the dog’s safe space, not a punishment. If I need my dog to be in her crate, I reward her when she goes inside.
There are also hand motions to go with common commands like ‘sit’. I’ve found this makes it easier for a dog to understand me.

Yep, good advice, give a treat for any need to crate or shut away as they won’t understand what you’re doing. Definitely look up hand signals over voice signals! They’ll never understand what you say!
