THIS AND FAR TOO LONG (hours!)[/quote]
Wut? There is nothing wrong with crating adult dog for 5-6 hours[/quote]

We still crate our 3yo large breed dog sometimes (not even daily, as I WFH). She still gets into things sometimes if left alone, and the safest place for her is her crate. Usually it is just for a few hours but on rare occasion (maybe a few times/yr) it will be 6-8 hours and she does totally fine. Sometimes we just lock her in our bedroom (nothing to get into) where her crate is- have been slowly transitioning to that. We usually come home and find her in her crate anyway! She often chooses to sleep in there with the door open overnight even though she can sleep in bed with us. . She likes her crate.

The pooping in crate issue I honestly have no idea….but I’d be tempted to experiment with feeding times, and experiment with a different style of crate or even try putting her in a safe dogproofed room (non carpeted) if you have one and see what she does. Maybe it will provide some clues. If not I’d ask a trainer. Sorry that you are dealing with this! [/quote]
