Why does my dog poop in her crate?

If you have crate-trained your dog but he keeps defecating in his crate, this could be for a variety of reasons. Your dog could be suffering from separation anxiety, have an underlying medical condition affecting bowel control, or simply not understand the crate is not the proper place to relieve himself. There are steps you can take to keep your dog from defecating in his crate.

Make sure the crate is the right size. Oftentimes, dogs will defecate in their crate if it's too big. If the crate is large enough that your dog can comfortably eliminate in a corner he might choose to go in his crate rather than wait to be let out. Your dog's crate should be just big enough for him to stand up and turn around in and lie down with his legs straight. Anything bigger might make him tempted to use the crate as a bathroom

Feed your dog in his crate. Chances are, your dog would prefer not to defecate in the same space where he's fed. Feeding him in the crate can help. You do not need to close your dog in the crate at meal times, as the stress of being locked in may interfere with his ability to eat. Just set the food inside his crate and leave the door open.

Alter the bedding in the crate. Changing the types of blankets you provide in the crate, or adding extra blankets, can potentially make your dog stop going in his crate.

my dog is 3yrs and has always been crate but in the last few months he started to poop in his crate, same food same everything, we cant leave him out because he chews everything up. we have no problem on the weekend

Well, there could be a few reasons why your dog is pooping in her crate. It could be that she's not getting enough opportunities to go outside and do her business, or she might be experiencing some anxiety or stress that's causing her to lose control of her bowels. It's also possible that she simply hasn't been properly trained to hold it in and wait until she's outside. Whatever the reason, it's important to figure it out and address it so that your dog can be comfortable and healthy, and your home can stay clean and odor-free.

We had problems with our dog also. He used to bark and chew shoes, table etc when we were not at home. We had no time to take our Bud to dog training classes. We asked one friend who works in foster care. He recommended one online dog behavior trainer http://bit.ly/2s3XuQF. It helped us a lot.

Generally, dogs do not want to soil where they rest (like in a crate), so most likely the dog is not getting the opportunity to relieve itself timely. I'd suggest that first thing in the AM, within an hour after every meal, and just before bedtime, you give the dog a chance to eliminate. That likely translates to 4 potty breaks a day. If walks are not possible, then some people use a potty pad and lead the dog over to it like they would a spot of grass. After the dog eliminates, give over the top praise as if they just won the lottery,
Another possibility is that the dog had a seizure, in which case all their fluids would come out which they have zero control over, but I'm hoping that this is just a house training/ frequency issue and not the latter.
