because you did not let him out. Sometimes if the crate is too big for the dog they will still eliminate in it when being trained. As long as the dog was not left in the crate too long is should not go in it's crate.

dogs scratch because they have an itch. it could be just a typicall itch like people get from time to time, or it could be because of fleas, ticks, or other animal bites, or something else irritating their skin.

At home with cratetrained 5 mos dog - over last week when out dog destroys inside of crate including sending bottom tray out of crate - today tore up carpet under crate HELP?

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.

Your puppy wines and is scared of her crate?

If your puppy is afraid of his/her crate, it could just scare s/he because of the metal or plastic (the bottom of the crate; noise it makes or it could be slippery) so put a blanket on the bottom of the crate. Also, try purchasing a Kong or toy where you can stuff it with treats. With my dog, we also put peanut butter on the top covering the hole of the Kong. This will teach your puppy that whenever s/he goes in the crate, there is a reward(:
