HI and Welcome to yt, I have crate trained 4 babies

Its a alot of work, but it doest take much time for them to catch on that nite time is for sleeping, I started like most others here did, crate in the bedroom with you, if he cries just whisper to him to be quite, I use the word quite only, and i still do if i need them to stop barking, they respond to one word well, after they sleep thru the night i brought my crate back out to the area where they now all stay, living room

yup i have 4 crates in the living room

good luck to you, there is tons of great advise here

no basement please
