I have a 9 week old doberman puppy how has been pooping in his kennel. He does this everytime he is left in the kennel even if it is only for an hour and he goes right before I leave. When I come home he is covered from head to toe in poop and leaves my entire house smelling. This occurs at least twice a day or during the night. What can I do to help stop this behaviour?

do you have an area with tile, try just leaving him in an area easy to clean while your gone then when your home put him in the kennel and sit with him letting him know it's ok. gradually leave for different amounts of time he needs to learn that that's where he goes to sleep and while "potty training him" put him in th tile area if you have one if not limit his food intake before putting him in the kennel
