Susang6 -- I have had my share of boxer pups as well. They can be stubborn, but crate training just takes a little patience. My tricks have been to play with the dog around the crate... give treats in and around the crate. Put her in the crate and try to lengthen the amount of time she stays quiet in the crate before you come back and let her out with a reward of affection or food. I would recommend having the first long-term stay in the crate be during the day... just go out for a few hours (to dinner or something). That seems to be an easier transition to nighttime stays. Also ONLY AFTER some comfort is achieved can a bark control sonic hypersonic tool be introduced if you want to try and control the barking. You may not be a fan of this type of tool, but I thought I'd mention it. It worked for me.

PLEASE vaccinate your puppies BEFORE you socialize them!!! I am a registered vet tech, and currently going to school to be a vet, and I see parvo puppies everyday. It's only about $25 for the vaccine, and it keeps your puppy safe!!!
