I have a Husky that is 11 months old currently. I adopted him from a woman that purchased him as a puppy. I adopted him around 7 months old and he was freely roaming his old house and pooping/peeing & tearing things up with no supervision. Old owner was barely home and did not take much care of him. I have had him since then and introduced him to the crate when I got him which went okay. He peed in the crate a few times when I first started using it. Over the past month, he has started peeing or pooping in his crate consistently (almost every day). I work full time so in the morning I let him out. I come home on my lunch usually 4 hours into the day and let him out for about 15 minutes. Then I let him out after work, so he is in his crate for 4 hours at a time. Also, he poops in the basement occasionally which is unfinished. Today, I gave him a bath after he pooped in his crate and afterwards he peed in my room in front of me which has never happened. I am not sure what to do and don't know if the crate is the issue, potty training or separation anxiety. Also, when I first used the crate he escaped multiple times until I ziptied all the areas together he was escaping from. The weather where I live has changed to be rainy in the last month so unsure if that has something to do with it.
