I have a 13 week old malinois pup, she is coming on slowing, when it comes to putting her in her cage she makes a hell of a noise while in there, i have tried the telling off and now i am ignoreing her , she does settled down afer about 15 minutes but she is also getting louder she has two other dogs to go in with her who go in on command and have never made a single noise in there. she also plays merry hell when i try to put her in. any help on the noise thing would be great .
Never look down on any one unless you are helping them up.

have i got this right ?
you are crating this dog in the same crate with two others ?
doesn't sound like a great situation , but everyone has their own circumstances they have to deal with .
as for the noise , the fact that she does settle , even if it takes fifteen minutes , is a good sign . when she is quiet , let her out for a short spell .
put her back in . remove when quiet .
you have to approach crate training as just that : training .
i spent lots of time and many repeats of in and out of the crate chasing toys and food . i did this in various locations around the house , first within the confines of an ex-pen , and then in enclosed rooms . this was to show him the " best game in town " was right here , right now .
also , i played these same games with the crate in the car , so that he actually looked forward to getting in the car .
good to see you've gotten past the telling off , you can't expect compliance to a command ( ?! ) the dog doesn't know .

the more unsupervised time she spends
with others of her own kind tend to make her prefer their company over you , particularly in these early imprinting days .
beyond that , i think providing her with her own space allows her to find her own solace in her own space , rather than having to find her place in confined quarters with other established , presumably dominant dogs .
just as a lol , i prefer to not use the term " cage " . . . kind of refers to a wild animal requiring secure confinement , rather than the " den " that we are providing for our best companion .
