Dogs generally won't do their business where they sleep unless they have absolutely no choice in the matter and are desperate. Before the dog is crated for the night, it should be given an opportunity to empty its bladder and its water bowl should be removed until the morning.
If the dog seems to be doing this regularly, however, it could indicate a bladder infection or other problem out of the dog's control and it should be checked by a veterinarian. Again, under normal conditions, a dog will NOT urinate where it must sleep.
