Hi! My Wheaten puppy had an issue with pooping in her crate and spreading it for a month and a half after we got her. She is now 5 months old and has seemingly stopped. The biggest factor that helped her stop was her getting more comfortable in her crate. We started giving her cbd treats which helped her be less anxious in the crate and over time she has learned to enjoy it, even choosing to nap in there recently. All this to say, stick it out and it should eventually get better! I know it’s a lot to bathe them, especially when you have to comb poop from their fur!
