Dog afraid of crate now

Question
Hello,
 My 7 month old Vizsla kept us up the other night with whining (his crate is next to me in the bedroom).  I kept taking him outside and then back in, but the cycle continued.  He ended up with hives and an all day visit at the vet.  Ended up he had an allergic reaction to something.  Now, I can't get him to go back in the crate for bedtime.  He will go in, but gets very nervous and whining and hangs out in the corner breathing heavy.  He is fine still with being crated in the kitchen when we leave.  I have changed the crate linens and also moved it to another side on the room.  I let him sleep with us last night and he was fine with that!  However, I like crating him at night as I am still nervous of accidents (although he hasn't had one in months) and I also like to have my 'people time'.  Any suggestions?

Answer
OH boy Stephanie!  YOU gave him a taste of MOM and Dad's bed!  Yes wants in the bed now...right?

YOU can try a few things -
Option 1.  put him in another room, in his crate.  Make sure there is a radio on with some soft music or a "talk" radio station would be fine.  Also, cover his crate with a sheet, just like you would cover a bird for bedtime.
If it is too hot, then you can't cover him up.

Option 2.  You can buy some bad boy pants " male wrap " - the male wrap will wrap up his penis for the night ... ( you can put a feminine maxi pad in the wrap).
Then, he can be in be with you???  If you want :
