Thank you both for your input.
Believe me it helped
My hubby rebuilt the crate placed it in a large closet. Surrounded it w/cardboard. Added some reenforcments.
Since doing this and using a calming spray he has not pooped or peeded in his crate. He still barks but a lot less.
I will contact my vet about getting him on some sort of meds. He needs it. He does follow us everywhere. We have trained him that when he is to excited that he needs to grab a toy until he relaxes. Too bad that doesn't work in the crate. Whenever someone comes in the house he grabs a toy. I have also talked to my hubby about being more on target about what I'm trying to do w/the dog. NO MORE bed, sofa and not rushing to get him out of the crate when we get home. I also have been putting him in (this week) while we are still home but getting ready to leave. It is no longer the last thing I/WE DO. I'm working on him staying where he is while we move around the house. He will follow us everywhere.
My vet has stated before that this dog is lucky. Any other owner would've dumped him at the pound again. I ahve been the one doing 90% work w/the dog.

Thank you! Next step is the vet and new meds. My GF has her dog on a certain pill that works for his fear of loud noises. Montana was on clomicalm DID NOT WORK
