it's a lose lose situation he poops in his crate and then smashes it around and it's a BIG clean up and I've taken him and the create to pet stores and asked for a smaller one and they told me the one I have is the correct size for him. I've tried everything to keep him from pooping in it. He just won't stop I'd rather there be an easy clean up then one that uses up a roll of toliet paper(i flush it)

Izze is the same way... she steps in her poo in the crate. It's gross. She does the same in the bathroom. When I started putting her in my bedroom with Molly---she stopped pooping in the house!
With Izze, I leave her in my bedroom with Molly and there is nothing she can get to. She can't jump on my bed (too high).
I slowly left her--- 5 min, 10 min, etc... and now she is fine. I think that it helps that she has Molly.
Have you seen it's me or the dog? In it, she had those bed rails that would prevent the dogs from jumping up. She used it temporarily until the great danes learned. Maybe you should get those?
Maybe your baby has separation anxiety and he just needs you to slowly get him used to you leaving? It sounds like he loves you lots! This also means that he needs you to give him extra help. If you need any advice---we are here.
I have four dogs-- 2 pups, 2 rescues and we have had several issues over the years. I got my first dog when I was a young teen and she was such a brat. Chewing on everything...peeing everywhere. Luckily she loved her crate
She is now my most well behaved dog...and it was because I worked SO much with her. it was very difficult but worth it. And if you put the time and energy into Teddy---it will pay off bigtime.
Each dog is an individual and you need to find something that works for him.
Regardless, I would not tie him up when you are gone. it is dangerous.
