Both my dogs no longer potty in their crate but when we take them out side they both go and then when we take them inside not even five minutes later they go potty in the house what do I do?

I know where you are at and it is not good! I am there now myself with my dog! I hope someone gives you good advice, because I need it too!
You are not alone!
Someone please help us both!

There are some useful details in the housebreaking section of the sticky at https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/information-articles-our-dogs-expert-labman-53153.html#post251809
In addition to what is in it, it is important to make the dog move around. Just as restricting movement with the crate reduces the need to relieve itself, exercise stimulates. Most dogs love being outside. In their excitement, many need a little more time for a second try. They may also put off going if they connect relieving themselves with being drug back in. They have short attention spans. A few minutes later they won't connect the 2.
Glad to hear of the progress on fouling the crate. If you could report what you think helped, it would help others.
