Taycie used to pee in her crate as well. Durning the day I took her blankets out of her crate. ( I read this somewhere I was having a heck of a time potty training in the begining) Well... of course she had an accident. Unfortunetly it was in the car and I really couldn't do much until I got home.
Needless to say she was soooo upset cried all the way home and no she did NOT like standing in her potty. Yes, I did feel bad for her, so I cleaned up the mess and gave her a bath.
That nipped that problem in the bud. Never again have I had a problem with her using her crate as the bathroom. I was able to put the blankets back and she has never done it since.
Xpens or doggie play pens are wonderful! Taycie has one that she uses when I work on Saturdays. It might help him relieve some of his energy. You could also had a potty pad on the opposite end as well!
I hope you can get some rest soon!
