It should be just large enough for the dog to turn around and to have a small blanket and maybe a toy. If it is to large the dog will feel free to relieve himself in the crate and you don't want that. If by putting the puppy in the crate the that comes difficult and fussy then give him a few minutes to settle down and then take him out.Giver him lots of praise when you get good behavior.If you take him out soon it only teaches him ifhe fusses more he will get out sooner.

Don't ever punish your dog by putting it in a crate, it should be an enjoyable place for them to be.
