He hates going in and I have to lure him in with toys or push him in.

Use a treat and make him sit to "earn it" then say the command. I used bed, my parents used kennel. Both dogs went on command. If they try to eat the treat take it away and put it in the crate and make them go get it. Keep them inside until the treat is done. Do this whenever you give a treat, and they will learn that "bed", "kennel" or "crate" means to go in there and eat their treat. This works, but do it every time, don't let them eat the treat outside and don't discipline if they beat you to the treat, just try again.
Don't forget, training takes times.

Coax the dog into the crate with a piece of food like cheese while saying the command that you will use such as "crate", "house", "cage" etc. If you do this often several times a day using the treat and command, soon you will be able to put the cheese in the crate, give the command, and he will go in without coaxing. Eventually he will go in on command without the food incentive. Be sure not to use the crate as punishment while you are training him.

He's young...patience... Make his crate a fun place and continue with the toys. While you're luring him in with toys use the same command every time "get in your bed" or "go in your crate". Eventually the dog will relate your command to going in his crate. Don't forget to toss a treat in there for him when he goes!
Don't ever use his crate for punishment.

I would always put a treat in the crate such as a milk bone, tell him to kennel or crate when he would go in to get the treat, after doing this for a couple of days I would just say crate and my dog would go in because he was expecting a treat. Praise the dog every time he goes in and please reward him for his good behavior. a golden retriever should get this quick because they are very smart and easy to train. Just watch out for the chewing!

Teach him that the crate isn't bad. Leave it open during the day when you are home. Put some toys in there and a nice blanket. Let him go in and out, knowing that everytime he goes in, he's not going to be locked in. It all depends on the beginning approach to the crate, on whether or not it'll be easy to get them to go in willingly.

it takes time for a dog to feel like the crate is his own den and will want to go there on his own.
First, never use it for punishment, or they will never want to go in
Second - FEED THEM IN THEIR CRATE so they know good things happen in there
Third, always leave the crate open so they can go in when they want. my dogs all nap in their crates when they want some private space where no one can bug them.
Fourth - make sure their crate is in a common area where everyone hangs out. If you isolate it in a basement, laundry room or some other isolated place, they won't like it. Dogs are pack animals and he'll want his "Den" near where the pack is.
over time, you should be able to tell them to "go to your home" and they'll go right in. For my husky, all I have to do now is point, and she plops right down in there.

this is an easy one to teach. every time you put him in the crate point at it and say "crate" and lead him inside so it will just be a matter of time before he does it on his own

I consider each and all of the previous posters approximately having her checked by employing the vet, by way of fact it won't have the ability to do any harm, yet i do no longer think of it is going to remedy the subject. you do no longer would desire to difficulty approximately her being bodily incontinent by way of fact she squats to pee. If she had a bladder muscle situation she might only leak at the same time as wandering around. It appears like she would not yet understand that she will't pee anyplace she likes. you have carried out a sturdy job so a tactics to coaching her that it particularly is stable to pee and poop outdoors, yet you haven't any longer taught her that it particularly is incorrect to pee indoors. i might watch her like a hawk for here few days, and shop her leash on. the 2nd she starts off to squat, you will desire to offer a noisy "no!", grab the leash and walk her quickly outdoors. while she pees outdoors, compliment her. in no way ever enable her end her peeing indoors, whether it means dribbling urine during the domicile. do no longer carry her as this might advantages her for irrelevant peeing. Do the comparable while she is in her crate; the very 2nd she starts off to squat, shout "no!" and walk her speedily outdoors. shop repeating this devoid of fail till she gets it - it might desire to take some days. finally, clean everywhere the place she has peed with an enzymatic purifier, including her crate, so there's no residual scent of urine to tell her she will pee there.

You might take a look at clicker training. Also, use a short command like "naptime!" Can you give him a treat that he doesn't get at any other time by holding it at the end of the cage? (i.e. a very tasty hotdog morsel!)
