    Puppy Pooping in Crate
    Hello,
    I have an 8month old dog who continues to poop in his crate. He pooped in my room and then I put him in the crate this morning and he pooped again. He does this once a month. He regresses to popping in the crate. What can this be? He does for 3 days and stops...

    I would try giving him some exercise before putting him in the crate. Walk him around a little outside. It may stimulate him into having a bowel movement and then be OK in the crate.

    If you are not feeding a concentrated, meat based chow, switching to one will produce smaller stools perhaps allowing him to last until you let him out.

We have a 9-week old Golden Retriever. She sleeps in a crate next to our bed and is a gem: quiet, doesn't soil or pee. When we leave her alone (for only 2 hours maximum at this point), she has been consistently pooping/soiling her crate. It seems like separation anxiety or perhaps some form of...

Puppy pooping in crate [ 22 Answers ]

My 10 week old puppy is doing really well with training during the day, but he poops (sometimes twice a night) in his crate. His last meal of the day is at 6:45 and he usually poops twice before he goes to bed at 11:00. We get up at 3 am to take him out and he has usually gone by then. He has...
