Probably because you use cheap dog food.

kidney's dont have a thing to do with eliminating feces, sheesh:(
If he's a pup, they do go #2 a lot more than older dogs.
Look at how often your feeding him, and how much. Be sure to follow the guidelines for feeding on the back of the dog food package, although this can vary a tad bit with each dog.
Do you allow him to eat whenever he wants? If so, this is one reason why he goes so much.
Give him scheduled feedings instead, this way he doesnt eat too often. And you'll have an idea when he has to go.
My pup is a little over 3 months old, and he eats 4x a day. And elimates (BM), at least that many times also.

Dogs poop the same reason you do to eliminate waste. If you are using a cheap brand of food there will be more waste byproduct {poop}. With dog food you get what you pay for honestly. If you buy a high grade of food most of it is digestible the lower the grade {price} the more fillers are used and therefore the more stool your dog will produce. Also if your dog is excessivly gassy its because they are not able to fully digest the food you have them on and it should be changed unless you enjoy the smell

If you're dog is eliminating more than usual it could be the food you're feeding. Check the ingrediants make sure there are no by products or corn (it's harder to digest). No canned food because that causes loose stool and if you have cats ...it could be getting into the cat food.
Just monitor what goes in your puppy and that will take care of what comes out
Good Luck

They go to the toilet for the same reasons as we do. Have you changed his food lately - maybe that is why he is going more oftern than before. I have two dogs, and they both go 4 times daily!!!

the better the dog food the less the poop. that is common among dog foods.

If you need to ask this question you shouldn't have a dog. if it's pooping more then usuall you are probably feeding bad/cheap food.

You are probably feeding it too much or a cheap food which has lots of cereal in it ( dogs do not digest cereal very well and it is excreted);
