Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! A trick that I have for this which has worked great in the past is putting a bit of peanut butter somewhere in the cage for Zeze to lick. This will help keep her entertained for some time but also will help associate the kennel with something positive. Also, have toys in there for Zeze. It does take persistence but eventually she will get used to it. Good luck and have a great day!
