Ready, what’s the thought process behind your prescribed “cage door” approach?
A caged animal will try to escape. But an animal that is free to choose may choose to enter the cage.
I have housebroken a lot of puppies over the years using the crate method. They sleep and eat in their crate. They sty in their crate when we are not home because dogs will not eat or sleep where they go potty. At first they want out of the crate anytime they are in it. Over time they associate the crate with eating and sleeping. Eventually, after they are housebroken if you leave the crate open they will go into it WILLING to sleep.
WASs are like that. If you try to 'crate' them, they want to escape. Open the crate door and make it their freedom of choose to go or stay, and they might choose to stay.
