The problem may be because the crate is too big. It's more like an apartment than a bed. I put Joey in a regular size crate and he did the same thing. After I put him in a smaller more confined space he stopped doing this. Some people suggest blocking the crate off, to make it smaller. When you take him out, probably after no more than 4 hours, put him directly on his pee pad or newspaper.
