Oh my..he is still a very young baby. Don't expect miracles out of a 14 week old. Maybe you should try a larger rate with enough room for a pee pad? Thats not the idea of how crate training works but sometimes we have to figure out what works for each dog. Don't feed him or allow water right before bedtime. Are you opposed to him sleeping with you? When I got Bentley he freaked at night in the crate, cried all night. Couldn't take it so I caved in and put him in bed with me and he did fine, woke up in the middle of the night to go potty but I least I got some sleep and didn't have to listebn to crying. People differ on opinions on allowing a dog in the bed..it doesn't bother me. I love having both of mine to cuddle with.
