This is what happened to Vick's dogs ...

Ha, good story. If you want to eventually move the dog's cage into the other room, move it a little at a time. Like a foot a day. Eventually, he won't mind being in the other room. ;)

Well I wanted it on the third floor of my town house, it is going to be weird moving it a foot a day espically when I get to the stairs. =)

Since I've been here, we've actually gotten Max on a daily walking schedule (they never walked the dog in 3 years) and he's now to the point where he'll sit at the door and cry like a baby until someone takes him. They've also gotten better about leaving things on the floor that he can "take" and get aggressive over. When he gets excited, he will literally "steal" anything he catches a glimpse of (shoe, phone, remote, soda bottle, anything) and will bite when you try and "take" it back. He has a "corner" that he's claimed for himself, where he takes these things. Trying to "take away the corner" does no good. He'll either push the furniture out of the way, or just sit near where the corner should be. I don't know what to do about that, but like I said, finally, after 3 years, they've gotten it through their heads, not to leave things on the floor that he can grab. They've also agreed to have him "fixed", which should have been done when he was a pup, but still have yet to do. They say "money is a factor", so I called SNiPs. They'll do it for $75, but they would rather have "their" vet do it. I'm trying, they seem to be trying. Maxs' vet said, if all else fails, and even after all the "work" and "having him fixed, if all else fails"...we can have him put on doggy prozac.

I've seen some improvement in him. I just worry that, once I'm in a better place and can afford to get out on my own again, the work with him will stop, and it will have been all for nothing.
They need a new vet with a clue. Is this the Dr. Nick of vets?

His crate is his room and most of us would feel a little out of sorts just up and moving our safest and most comfortable spot we know somewhere new. And we're and advanced species with objective critical thinking. Like cpayne said you just need to move it slowly. Move it a couple feet every 2 or 3 days. when you get to the stairs leave it at the bottom for a week and then jump it up the stairs. Leav it there for another week. The move up the stiars will be harder. He may get worked up. Give it some time. He'll get just a s comfortable eventually. Will the dog be able to access the cage on the new level freely? If so put a treat or a favortie toy in there as much as possible. Do everything you can to make it comfortable for him.

Thanks dude for the advice but he can just stay in the same room. Eventually my son is going to walk and he will be all over the place not just that one room.
