First I would make sure that Titan's crate is not too large - it should be big enough for him to stand up and turn around but not much larger. You may need to put a barrier in to make it smaller if it is too large. If it seems like it is an appropriate size you may want to have your vet examine him and make sure he doesn't have signs of a urinary tract infection. If there is no medical reason for this behavior you may need to try taking him outside on a schedule at night to hopefully prevent accidents in the crate.
