In pack structure training, what does 'full crate submission' mean?

Full Question:

I just purchased Establishing Pack Structure with the Family Pet DVD and I don't understand what 'full crate submission' means. My dogs are going in & coming out submissively, however they still have moments when they cry/bark, especially at night.

Cindy's Answer:

Crate submission is merely total acceptance. If the dogs are barking, vocalizing then they are not fully accepting of the crate yet (or maybe they need to go out to relieve themselves).
