What is my yorkie keep using the bathroom in his crate?

I have owned my Yorkie for over a year, crate trained. Now all of sudden he defecating and urinating in his crate everyday. It does not seem to be an accident, as it looks more like he is doing it on purpose. What is his problem?

Please only reply if you have something intelligent to say. Thanks.

He may have a medical issue you aren't aware of. Rule that out first. Next, are you spending enough quality time with it? It may be acting out. Try a behaviorist, or ask your vet. good luck

is the crate to big for him, try a smaller crate. the point is so he can go in turn around and stand up without problems if he has to much excess room he may see it as a big room with sections, eating/drinking (he should have access to water), bathroom, and sleeping. He should only see one section, relaxation (the main purpose of the crate. But if it is already the right size then sorry i cant help you.

Sounds like he is trying to tell you he doesn't want to be locked up
