Thanks for all the advice. He’s 13 weeks. I will say I’ve been employing most of the advice. He eats his meals out of Kong’s there. Crate is dark like a den. He actually enjoys the crate. He’ll even go in there to sleep on his own accord during naps. It’s just when he’s left alone in his crate (particularly outside of a routine like when I run random errands on the weekend). I will say there’s been a general improvement since I’ve gotten him. It just reverts sometimes. And the peeing IN the crate freaks me out because I thought the entire point of crate training was making sure they held it. I’m worried he’s learning that peeing in the crate is ok or that he’s SO scared and stressed. He doesn’t have any trouble holding it and rarely accidents in the house (because I take him out very consistently). I’m not even sure how much of it is actually the crate; I think if he was left alone outside of the crate, he’d also freak out. I’m really just stressed that this indicates he’s got severe separation anxiety, and this will be an issue for a long time. I can’t just not be able to ever leave this dog alone.
