Hey everyone. I've had a 1yr 3mo old black lab for about a year now. We crate trained him for the first few months mainly to be used when we are at work (about 4hrs between me leaving and my fiance getting home). Eventually he started breaking out of his cages. Literally hurting himself to break the pieces of metal where they come together.
We decided to keep his cage there, but let him have the basement to himself while we're gone. Now he's pooping - almost never peeing - in the basement while we're gone. I don't remember him having any accidents since the first couple months we had him. Any advice is GREATLY appreciated and just let me know if you have other questions.

PS - I have a few other issues to take care of but we'll handle this one at a time.
