Minnie, they will all cry cuz they miss their mom and littermates. I call it hollering. It will take time but it will pass. Get a big stuffed animal that it can play with when its out. Then put it in the crate with him or her. Btw what kind of puppy do you have?

Try a warm waterbottle and ticking alarm clock, wrapped up in a towel. The clock simulates the moms heartbeat. Makes them feel safe.
What is very important with crate training is "Never give in to the whining" if you do, you lose and they will whine louder the next time when you don't let them out. LOL

Try crating, then pretend to go out of the house.lol. Some stop whining if no one is there
