Our 13 week old Boxer X was coming along very well with house training when we got him at 8 weeks. Crate training took some work, but even after only 2 nights he would sleep in it up to 7hrs straight through the night with no problems.
Lately he has been peeing in the house more when roaming during "play time" and even after going for regular walks he will pee again not long after coming inside.
We've decided to return to basics and have him spend more time in his crate to force him to hold it as he easily can through the night. However, he will pee in his crate right in front of us (today after he peed 3 times on his walk 20min before going into his crate). There is no blanket, it is sectioned off and he definitely doesn't mind the crate as he will go in on his own for his own quiet time.
So why, when we put him in while we're home, does he still pee in it?

His crate is just big enough for him to lie down - we spoke to a vet and if it's an infection he shouldn't be sleeping through the night as he is.

take him out more often he is only thirteen weeks old. also what kind of cleaner do u use to clean up the mess. if u use cleaners w/ ammonia he will keep on peeing there because smells like
pee to them. get a good dog cleaner. and bring him outside more often and praise him when he goes outside mabye he wants more attention and sees that when he goes inside the he gets attention even if it is bad attention.

a million as a exchange of a crate provide her a clutter bit greater area by using putting her on your room and employing slightly one gate for a small nook. 2 puppy pads not baskets or blankets.3 toys to maintain her busy so she would be able to tire herself out. wish this transformation into effectual

It could be your dog has a urinary tract infection if it is peeing frequently.
Before you change its training, I would take it to get checked out.
