Yes, as long as the dog has room to move in the crate.
A dog crate as I understand it is for transportation and the the kennel is for housing/protection
But a small crate for your dog from a pet-store. Put the dog in here when you go to school. The dog will only mind the first couple of days, but whenever you put the dog in there give it a treat. The dog will start thinking of the crate as its bed, and will learn to like it. This will make it so the dog will not pee in the house, and it probably won't pee in the crate either, since it wouldn't want to pee in its bed.
Let it sleep on your bed for 1 to 2 weeks .
When choosing a new dog crate for your pet, consider the size, material, and design that best suits your dog's needs. Make sure the crate is large enough for your dog to stand up, turn around, and lie down comfortably. Set up the crate in a quiet, comfortable area of your home, and make it cozy with a soft bed or blanket. Introduce your dog to the crate gradually, using positive reinforcement and treats to create a positive association.
Your dog is being territorial of you and the bed. Your husband is not his favorite person and he does not want your husband messing with "his" stuff, AKA you and the bed. To solve this problem the dog needs to see that you and your husband own him and he does not own you or the bed. You need to buy a dog crate. Make it as comfortable as possible and show your dog that it is his by playing with him and giving him treats inside of the crate. Teach your dog that going into the crate is a treat and not a punishment. As soon as you make the crate a bad thing then it will ruin the system. Don't lock your dog in the crate. Once he is having fun inside of the crate put him in it and close the door but don't lock it. Give him a treat through the door and then let him out. Make this a new game. He goes in the crate, you shut the door, he gets a treat, and then he comes out. once he is used to it, make another game. He goes in the crate, you shut and lock the door, you walk out of the room and once you are out of sight then walk right back in to the room, he gets a treat, and then he comes out. From that point on extend the time that you stay out of sight until he can stay in the crate for several hours. Get your husband to work him him too, it will help their relationship. Once your dog is crate trained, then he needs to sleep in the crate at night and not in your bed. You may not want to do this but, he will feel more comfortable, you will feel more comfortable, and your husband will be a lot happier. By giving your dog a place of his own you put security into his life. Your husband is never going to try to get into your dog's new territory so he can rest at ease and feel a lot more comfortable around your husband and around the house. The location of the crate is your choice, if you want it can be in your room. Make sure that the first thing you do in the morning is open the crate door and let him come out. My dog is crate trained and if I leave the crate door open then he will return to his crate during the day to sleep or hang out. He knows that it is his spot and he feels comfortable there. Good luck with your training!
This may be because the crate that you are keeping you boxer in is too small. If a dog just fits in the crate and they do not have very much room to move around they will be less likely to go to the bathroom in the crate. This is because they think of the crate as their bed, and do not want to go to the bathroom in their bed. However if they have a place to go to the bathroom, and a place to lay where they would not have to lay in their defecation, they re more likely to go to the bathroom in their crate

To train your dog to not sleep on the bed, you can start by providing a comfortable alternative sleeping area for your dog, such as a dog bed or crate. Consistently redirect your dog to their designated sleeping spot and reward them for using it. You can also use positive reinforcement techniques, such as giving treats or praise when your dog follows your command to go to their own bed. Additionally, you may need to be firm and consistent in enforcing the rule of not allowing your dog on the bed. With patience and consistency, your dog can learn to sleep in their own designated area.
To prevent your dog from destroying its crate, you can try providing plenty of exercise and mental stimulation, using positive reinforcement training techniques, ensuring the crate is comfortable and safe, and gradually acclimating your dog to being in the crate.
Try giving your dog a cuddly toy ,a blanket and hide a ticking clock outside the bed/crate. hope this helps! :)
It is polite to bring with you your own bed cover and use it in place of the hotel's bed cover to keep it free of dog hair. Do not wash your dog in the hotel's bath tub or use the hotel's towels on your dog. Disposable bath wipes are available for freshening your dog between baths and are suitable to use when traveling. Do not leave your service dog unattended in your hotel room. He may surprise housekeeping. Take a collapsible crate with you for emergencies. A basic sport crate that will fold small enough to fit in your luggage is available for as little as $25.
There could be several reasons why crate training is not working for your dog. It's possible that the crate is too small or uncomfortable for your dog, or that your dog has had negative experiences in the crate. It's also important to make sure that you are using positive reinforcement and gradually introducing your dog to the crate. Consulting with a professional dog trainer may help identify the specific issue and provide guidance on how to address it.
