The thing that puzzles me was that he was starting to go outside and then all of a sudden he doesn't poop outside but will do it in his crate, i can't figure him out. I feed him three times a day, his last meal is at 5 p.m. He has last water at 8:00 p.m. and then last walk at about 10:30, but i leave him with a pad during the night and he poops at least 3 times on it during the night.
