Thanks all for the advice. I only put him in the crate when he needs to be in there. When I'm home he always is with me. But like last week I was on a mission trip in Oglala, South Dakota, and my friends took care of him, and he was a lot worse with them. It was the 1st time he was with out me. How can I control separation anxiety? I believe that is the issue as well.

He is about 7th months. I take him out 3-4 times a day. He is house trained, but the only issue is the crate. I keep him in there 5 hours max.

My B is constantly doing that. How do I stop it? I take him out before he goes in and he still has some left in him to do his business.
