Keeping your dog in a crate is unacceptable after the age of 1, as many feel trapped. Get him/her a really spacious cage if they do not have good behavior. You can get a good cage on sale at Walmart.

When you are potty training a dog, a small cage will deter the dog from using the bathroom in his crate. They do not like to use the bathroom where they will be resting or playing. If the crate is large in proportion to the space needed by the dog he will designate prt of the crate as a bathroom and the other part as the living room.
making the crate a punishment may confuse the dog because the crate is supposed to be a secure place for the dog a place a dog can go to sleep or just be alone.

Try to introduce him to the crate. If it is a house dog that is used to being free they may not like it. If not there shouldn't be a problem. It may upset the older dog.
maybe you should try to let your dog outside more and if that doesent work i suggest taking the dog to a veterinarian to see if there is a uranarie track infection or other problem, or maybe the dog doesnt like the crate or its trying to mark its territorie.
Usually, it is not necessary to cover the crate. It depends on the situation. If the dog is not expected to sleep, leave the cover off so that he can see whats going on around the crate, like if it is a puppy being crate trained. If the dog is expected to sleep, but his surroundings are distracting, a cover may be useful to block out disturbances. If the rest of the household is calm (for example, at night), a cover is not usually necessary, but if the dog is being noisy and refuses to be quiet, a cover may be useful to calm him/her down. However, it would be best to use this as only a temporary solution. Ideally, the dog should be taught that noisiness in the crate is not an acceptable behaviour.
A crate is a small container that you put your dog it. Putting puppies in crates allows you to keep them safe while you are out of the house. The puppy will bark and whine the fist couple of days, but soon they will get used to being in the crate. Buy a crate that is just large enough to fit your dog into, to prevent them going to the bathroom in the crate.
MAYbe she doesnt like him or maybe she wants a better doggy

Suggest a trial night. Ask if you can bring the dog in the house when you go to bed one night and let it sleep in your room and see how it goes. Your dad is probably most worried about your house being detroyed by your dog while yall are asleep (ex: pooping, peeing, chewing) He probably doesnt like the crate idea because he's afraid the dog will cry at night from being locked up. So ask him if one night you can bring the dog into your room right before you go to bed and see how the dog reacts. Tell him that if the dog chews anything or goes to the bathroom then you will let the dog sleep outside for now on. If your dad agrees you must make sure you keep your dog from being detructive.
They sell plastic crates that are entirely enclosed in solid plastic except for some windows at the top. These crates would prevent your dog from being able to get to the carpet under the crate. If you do not want to go out and buy a new crate, put some chew toys, such as raw-hides, and other toys in the crate to keep your dog entertained. Your dog is destroying things because he is probably bored.
A dog crate as I understand it is for transportation and the the kennel is for housing/protection
