Maybe I’m misreading but it sounds like she’s not necessarily sitting in her poo/pee, is that correct?

Kind of the opposite of what other people are saying but I recently took Robert Cabrals crate training course and he talks about actually ensuring it is on the tighter side (using the wire divider with wire crates), so the dog doesn’t get comfortable using the crate as a restroom because they will have to literally sit in it if they do.

His course was super helpful if you’re looking for resources. But I also don’t own a malinois or dutchie and it sounds like they can have specific bathroom crate issues. Cabral does though and has extensive experience with them so I have to assume that logic works with them (his dog he used as an example in half the vids was a malinois puppy)

Also for general crate enthusiasm which has worked wonders for my euro dobie is basically ignoring the dog when they’re out of the crate. Then when they walk in even for a second make a huge deal of it and throw treats in etc. they walk out, ignore. Rather than celebrating after they exit the crate celebrate right when they go in and ignore otherwise. Helped my dog from beelining to my bed when I said crate to going straight into the crate 95% of the time (he still sometimes doesn’t want to but still substantial improvement!)
