Rebecca,
Maybe you can not use a box for his bedding, but use a bed that can be pinned, tied or otherwise fastened to the crate side so he can not pull it out of its place. I am picturing one of those cushions for the seat of a wooden chair with the ties on it. If he can't drag the bed into the litter box, maybe he will get the idea.

But Diego is driving me batty. I have always used crates for my dogs and Diego is no different. But he is just gross, here is why. When I went back to work after summer break, I put him in a mid size crate with a litter box, and a box with his very soft nice bedding. WELL he uses the litter just fine, but then drags his bed into the litter box and then uses the other box and then drags his bed back to that box. I am bathing him every other day because he is just gross, I clean his crate often but by the time I get home he is covered. I have never had a dog that would choose to lay in its waste. Any help would be wonderful. BTW if I use puppy pads he drags those into his bed too :-/ Unfortunately I have to be gone all day for work this year, sadly this years school schedule wasn't kind to me. Thanks Rebecca
