If you'd like for your puppy's crate to become the place they go to to rest, take a break, relax, feel food and calm then yes, 100%!
Dogs by nature like to rest and take a break in darker quite areas (you can cover the crate with a blanket) and so long as you don't use the crate as a punishment tool, because your pup has done something you dislike or only when you're leaving them along for longer than they can handle, then there's lots to gain from using a crate!
