Tell your daddy that getting mad will only make you poop more! Anger doesn't fix your doggie behavior. And perhaps if you had a smaller crate, you would know that it's your home and not a cage.

A dog's bathroom habits are a result of the owner's care, always. Never get mad or punish your dog for bathroom related incidents. Simply ignore the pooch as you clean up, then look into the problem. In this case, I suspect a crate that's too small. {{ EDIT I meant to say: In this case, I suspect a crate that's too BIG }}
