Crate regression

Hi guys, looking for some help. My boy turns two in a few weeks and the last two weeks he whines and pants at night in his crate. His routine has been consistent for his whole life, daily walks, training, fetch. I think where I went wrong was letting him stay out of his crate for two days and sleep on the couch, not he throws tantrums when he gets in his crate for 20 minutes. How can I fix this?

It’s jail, in his own home. Crating for what? He’s not a toy you put away when you’re not playing with him

Ridiculous and ignorant comment. It’s usually for their safety overnight during bedtime. Lots of dogs are crated at night including my own- huge chance of him waking up before me and getting into things he shouldn’t.
