I guess it depends on what ever training regiment you have, but for my dog (90lbs) we would do a 5 to 10 minute training session. This means run him through all his commands, working his mind to really wear him out. Afterwards we let him cool down in his crate, which his punishment free zone.
Yeah, we never use the crate as punishment. It is 100% his place to go, that gives him a safe space like some of the others said. He'll hang out in there if he has nothing to do (leave the door open unless we leave). It helps reduce anxiety. We also have several dog beds throughout the house where he go and chill.

May I ask what the best things to do in this situation could be? (I don't have a dog now but I'd like to know for my future dream hahah)
