he doesn't like his crate too much as far as overnight goes. i guess the solution is just let him cry it out but it's really loud and i don't really want to disturb apartment neighbors. any hints/tips/ideas about crate training?

Put the crate in your room at night where he can see you when he's in it...should settle him. Easiest 8 hours to spend with your dog. During the day, leave a radio on. Good Luck bro...nice Boxer...will dig up some pics of mine.

i am home all day long. at night he can't see me because the room is too dark. it doesn't even matter though, even when he can see me he is screaming to get out.. only sometimes though. it's weird. sometimes he's really tired and he'll fall asleep next to my leg on the living room floor.. then i'll pick him up and put him in the crate and he'll lie down in there and go to sleep. then i'll shut the door and it makes a little sound.. he will open his eyes, realize i've shut the door, and then still put his head down and go back to sleep. he does that SOMETIMES. never through the night though, only with his naps.

You just have to tough it out. I know its brutal listening to a puppy cry all night, but its the best thing for him. Give him a week or so to get used to it.
