My sister and I have both crate trained our previous dogs without much issue. After about a year my sister and her family were finally ready to add another pup to their family. They found Hobie at a local Humane Society. He is approximately 8 mos old boxer mix. Hobie HATES his crate. He has broken 2 of them since June 2 (when they got him) even with a cone on his head due to his neuter! I took him a Kong to fill with PB etc and that helped at first. One night they decided not to put him in crate b/c he'd been there all day and ended up going into it on his own with the door open! That happened once! He was pretty much potty trained when they got him, but the times he has broken out he has pooped. I let them borrow my big crate since he is a cone-head and couldn't fit in there and he pooped in there! Any thoughts?
