Tips for crate training your dog: How do I keep my dog from barking at me while he’s in his crate?

I am a huge advocate of crate training dogs. Crate training provides a dog with a safe environment to call his own. I have recently been perfecting the art of crate training. My fiance John and I have two dogs right now under a year of age. John has an extremely high energy Red Heeler puppy named Torchy and crate training has been essential to building a happy life together.
Because John lives in a condominium barking is something that we strive to keep at a minimum. At one point during his crate training Torchy would bark nonstop if he was crated and John was in the room. John is working on his PhD and would often have Torchy in his crate while he was studying and couldn’t keep an eye on him. The problem developed that Torchy would bark at John when he put him in his crate and stayed in the room to study.
