A kennel should not serve as a punishment.

OP from what I understand this is a new dog you just got, so he probbaly doesn't know when and where they can do their business. You can't blame him for doing this since this is a new enviroment for him, so he probbaly paniced or just doesn't know better. Like humans dogs can be scared of change so expect him to be on odd or vad behavior. Try to make your dog get used to the adjustment of moving homes. If you can make your dog feel safe and comfortable then you are gaurenteed a life long pet you can depend on!

You should never use kennel as punishment. Next time you want to put your dog there because you have guests or small kids over then your dog thinks you are punishing it. When you have a new dog you can only say no just as your catch it doing its business. If not it won't know why you punish it. YDI for not reading up on how to train dogs.

Dogs aren't people, they only understand direct punishments. You catch a dog being bad you reprimand it then and there, putting it in a "timeout" won't work because the dog doesn't understand the concept of timeouts. They understand "I do bad I get a smack, I do good I get a snack".

You aren't supposed to kennel a dog in punishment. Ever. You need to read up on training and have a little patience! Would you punish a 2/3yo child for having an accident while potty training?

My Boys, two Yorkie brothers, go to their kennel when they need a safe space. That is what is normal. If you catch them doing their business inside, show it to them, say no, and take them outside. Also, consistently use one word, like "Outside?", to ask them if they need to do their business. Over time, they will understand.

You should NEVER punish your puppy for peeing inside!!! You have to ignore bad behavior and reward good behavior. When the dog pees outside you have to react like you won the lottery. Overreact and pet and treat your dog as much as you can. If you do this throughout all training, your dog will be the best behaved dog in the world. All your dog want is your attention, so if it gets no attention for peeing inside, but gets a ton of reward for peeing outside then that is what it will do. This is basic dog training and you need to read more about this. Punishing your dog for not understanding, is animal cruelty in my book.

Never punish dogs for going potty inside the house. My dog pooped on the floor beside my bed and I stepped in it so I scolded her. That night she took a shit right between my legs as revenge. I didn't notice until I rolled in it when I woke up. Dogs are smarter than you think.

Maybe research dog care before getting a dog. That would be the logical thing to do. if a dog pisses or ***** in the house, you are supposed to take them outside so they can associate going to the bathroom with being outside. A kennel shouldn't be a punishment. They should feel safe going in there on their own free will. I'm sure you mom didn't lock you the closet when you shit yourself as a baby.
