Crate Training Nightly Disaster

Hi all,

My wife and I are at our wits end with our 8 month old corgi mix. We got her when she was about 8 weeks old and immediately started crate training. She seems fine during the day, my wife takes her out almost every 3ish hours (depending on the day) and starts limiting food and water around 7pm. But without fail, every single night she pees and poops in her kennel. She doesn’t cry to go outside, and we’ve even gotten up every 3-4ish hours to take her out but she always saves it for the kennel. We do have puppy pads but she typically tears them up so it’s practically no use. Another thing she does, is as soon as she hears a slight change in breath in the morning she begins to bark nonstop at the top of her lungs. The ignoring method hasn’t seemed to work for that issue either. I believe our last resort would be to spend the $3K to send her off to boarding training but that is something I’d like to avoid due to financial state. Any and all recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
