I am going to say that I do not have a magic bullet to end this problem. I have thought thought about it, and want to see what you think. Dogs usually poop or pee off the main track. And they especially do not want to defecate near where they rest, so there is no good reason for your dog to do his business in the crate.
I am wondering if this happens when you leave the dog in the crate for a longer than normal or extra long time. This might lead the dog to have to defecate in the crate due to the amount of time it has spent there. Also does the dog defecate in the morning before being crated?
