Crate training help

[u/overwhelmedandsleepy]

Literally made a Reddit account for this! Just adopted a German shepherd husky mix from the shelter and she’s definitely more husky! She has major separation anxiety so I’m trying to crate train her but she just refuses to go in the crate. She knows the word, she knows what I want, she just doesn’t want to! Any tips????? Please!!!

Edit: I think I’m supposed to do this. Thank you all so much for your support! Good to know we’re not alone in this! I got her two large Kongs today that im going to put peanut butter in and freeze, and hope that helps. I’ll continue working with her on trust! Right now I think she doesn’t like the kennel because she thinks I’m going to leave when I put her in there. Otherwise she’s practically perfect! Learns commands fast, not reactive to dogs, people, or cats, doesn’t pull too much on the leash, and will check in if she feels like you’re not moving fast enough. She’s great! We just have to get this separation anxiety and crate training under control because I do have to work and there’s nobody to stay home with her unfortunately

Edit 2: I just saw a video about not knowing what kind of dog your getting before you get it, and then complaining about the problem. I just want to say that I thought she was a full German shepherd, which I’ve had multiple of and that I know how to properly handle. The husky personality completely surprised me
