We have him in the training cage. He's been crying for the past 15 minutes...:(

Do we just keep at it?

We plan on taking him out at 25 minutes.

Keep going, it's not hurting him! He'll learn to love it in there. If you take him out now he'll rule your life!

Pics?

If you teach him that crying gets him a reward, he will make your life a living hell. Tough it out.

The biting is easy. every time it bites, you fill its' mouth with hand. Keep stuffing it in there till the mouth is wide open and backing away. No harm, but discomfort. The pup will quickly learn to quit trying you on for size.
