We have had much the same experience with Darmah.  She goes absolutely bonkers mad when she gets put in the crate, and has ever since she was a pup.  Doesn't matter what you do to try and train her for it, she just isn't game. Must be a doberman thing.  Great dog other than that though. 

I don't even want to get into the potty training...............

ugh.

JK, I'm now done with that joke. Sorry to hear about the stuggles with housebreaking, hope it's easier over here.

How old was Greta when you got her?

Getting a dog tired out does wonders for making them more pliable. Some breeds are much more difficult to wear out than others.

She was only six weeks.


I believe that was the problem with a lot of the issues we had raising her.


And we didn't get her from a puppy mill.

It was a local breeder who had done a few litters. By far not a professional, but not some hack.

Greta's Dad's bloodline is quite good. Her Mom, though, is just a regular dog.

I have her pedigree somewhere, let me find it.

A good breeder should not have let a puppy go at six weeks. Things can be done completely unintentionally that can harm a puppies development down the road.  Just sayin

our last boxer wasnt crate trained (got him used) and it was a royal pain to put him in a crate, and usually resulted in bruises  :P

with our new one we started crate training from day 1...and it is definitely worth the effort.
any time you put her in the kennel (cage style, also doubles as her bed)...she is like ok time for bed.
no fuss or anxiety

Well, so far she loves the crate.

Goes in at night maybe fusses for less than a minute, and it's lights out.

Wifey says she goes in there when I'm not home and sleeps.

OK, this little 4 month old is peeing every two hours.

Is this the norm?

overnight she's fine

during the day we're taking her out every two hours and she's going.

Why not wait till she asks to go?

Two hours seems kinda frequent to me anyway.

I'd stretch it about 15 mins between walks...

and bump it up after a few days if she's OK with it.

You'll find her limit. ;)
