We never managed to get our poodle into a crate overnight, tried really hard for about four months, with waking and barking at least once a night. Tried all the tricks in this thread and elsewhere on the internet but as he grew it got less reasonable on the neighbours as he got louder.
We gave up and he sleeps in our room instead. Since the first time he's slept the whole night through. It's pretty nice having him around, he just potters off to his corner and drops off.
I think they're a pretty clingy breed though as well, no doubt lockdown hasn't helped!
