We just adopted the sweetest dog about a week ago. He’s one and when we adopted him the rescue said he was fully potty and crate trained. The first night we took him on an hour long walk where he pooped and peed and then we put him in his crate for bed. (He does the same thing every night in hopes to form a routine). The first night as soon as we left the room he barked for about 4 hours and ended up pooping all over himself. Mind you he went out RIGHT BEFORE bed. He will finally stop after about 4 hours but right at 6am when he sees the sun comes up he barks until someone gets him out of the crate. This has happened every night accept he only barks about 2 hours and then when the sun comes up. He barks for hours and poops no matter how many times we take him outside or for how long he will poop in the crate. please Help us! Should we let him bark it out? We keep the same routine from the beginning. Will he eventually stop? And how do I get him to stop pooping?
