I can't speak for others, but I will use a verbal warning or loud noise for normal crate barking, but Aeri's crate behavior is not modified at ALL by anything. Corrections don't change the behavior, nor do treats - she won't even eat out of the Manners Minder. Heck she'll do it with the door open....
Have you tried an Exercise pen? I suggested this to a client and it worked well for them, the barking and detructiveness that happened in the crate stopped and the dog was much more relaxed in the ex-pen. Maybe the extra room and ability to see more? No idea....but it did work for them. They also gave tons of frozen kongs and RMBs, etc.
