Once he decides to come out quickly, allow him to come out and go inside. Try calling out to him.  This can be repeated twice or thrice as a fun game to make him get familiarized with the crate.

Once a puppy gets familiarized and used to the crate. Play another game of closing the gate of the crate and opening it again. This way he will get used to gate being closed. Do this initially for a few minutes only. Try calling him to come outside. Slowly increase the time he stays inside. Also start keeping food and water inside as this will tempt him or her to go in food. You can also close the door when he is having food. If he whines, then you can keep the door .The same can be done when the canine fall asleep. If he calls out to you after waking up you open the crate and take him for a stroll or to play around.

Crate training for a pet if done in stages without frightening the pet will go a long in making it an enjoyable affair for both you and your pet. This will also ensure the safety, comfort and care of your pet at all times even in your absence.
