Can we use the plastic carrier to do the crate training?

It seems that he doesn't like it very much as we have to force him to go in every time. He is 8 weeks old.

We've crate trained both of our dogs with the same plastic carrier. We got one for a large dog and I just built a wooden barrier for the back of it to make the inside smaller, so they didn't have room to poop/pee in it... I think one dog pooped in it once, but it was because we'd left him in there too long.

Neither of ours liked it either, but we treated when we put them in. We've never used it for punishment, but we do put them away if they get too wound up... Neither of them mind their kennels anymore; it took them about a year before they got to the point where they'd go in on their own when they wanted to relax.
