1year-old pissing in the crate

Overnight, our one-year-old labradoodle—who is completely potty trained, etc.—began to poop in his box. He hasn’t changed his diet, but we are packing up our house because we’re relocating.

If this is a result of stress, how can we assist in reducing it? He already has plenty of opportunity to relieve himself before bed, and we have already given him clothes that smell like ourselves.

I’ve experienced something similar. What helped me was setting up a specific “chill zone” with his favorite bed, toys, and treats. Gradually extending the time he spent there helped ease his anxiety.
