Welcome to YorkieTalk.
What kind of feeding schedule is he on? Does he have regular meal times and are they consistent?
What kind of activity does he have? Scheduled meal times and exercise are excellent means of regulating pooping times.
How long is he in the crate at night? Does he have a consistent bedtime and waking time?
Have you bred him?
The answers to these questions will help determine what is going on and the solution to the problem.
Yorkies should be kept inside. They are very susceptible to attacks from other animals or birds of prey, and they are sensitive to hot and cold weather. Exercise caution. Yorkies are social animals and need plenty of human interaction.
Also, he will not be able to connect in his mind that you are making him stay outside because he is pooping in his crate at night.
