Crate Training a Shorkie?

My Shorkie goes into a crate just while we're gone somewhere. Normally when he wakes up he goes right to his cage and runs like crazy. Is this just his saying that he's bored? I do take him out and he will just sit out there even when it is cold outside. I have to tell him to go or he would just stay in one place for 5 minutes.

I believe that it's because dogs are creatures that want to please. They look to us for they're well being like feeding them etc. They love unconditionally so it's in that love for us that makes them want to please us. Not being a dog myself i can't give you the undoubted reason behind why they do what they do, i can only give you my opinion on the matter, but thats why i feel anyway, that your dog does that. It definitely could be boredom but idk if dogs get bored.

Dogs aim to please, they love unconditionally and want to make us happy. I think that's why your shorkie does that. I'm not a dog myself so i can't give you a definite answer to your question, i can only give you my opinion on the matter.

Idk if dogs even get bored but to me i think he's not quite sure what he's supposed to be doing and he doesn't want to displease you so he sits and waits for permission.

Maybe he just normally has a laid back personality. What is a shorkie?

Shorkies respond well to exercise in the form of play. If you take out a shorkie, run with him instead of walking to get him started. Don't expect him to take the lead. Shorkies are people pleasing dogs and respond well to leadership from an owner.

So it could be you're expecting him to make a move while he's waiting for you to provide definite leadership on where to go.
