I think that's a great idea. Familiarisation! Consider putting something in the travel crate, with your scent. Perhaps sleeping on the blanket you will put in the crate for Ollie. One more 'comforting' attribute, to his temporary travel environment.
Smart idea. I am crate training a young dog myself. What I do is I decrease the dogs visibility outside the crate and increase our distance slowly over the course of weeks. That way, he has lots of time to adjust to being far away from me in a crate and not being able to see outside of the crate.
Thank you for sharing about your own strategy for helping helping your dog familiarize itself with the crate. I will try to do something similar. Thanks again again and have a wonderful day! 🌸
