Pooping in Crate-HELP! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Help! My yorkie has been pooping in his crate lately! He will poop then hide it under the towel. He will mostly do it when Im out. Ive been trying to make sure he goes before I leave some times it works sometimes it doesnt. He also did it again while I was home. I found it like early in the morning. Usually he will let me know when he needs to get out to go. He's 15 weeks old. Any suggestions on what Im doing wrong?

Do you leave him in the crate all day?

Only when Im gone to work and that is usually 4 hours at a time. Someone checks on him in the middle of the day. He sleeps in his crate all night with no problems.

Try changing when you feed him or don't leave until he has pooped. This just sounds like bad timing.

That makes a lot of sense. I need to wake up a little bit earlier in the morning to make sure he goes before I leave. Thanks for the tip. I will try it out!
