[Woogie Man]

One variation on crate training you may try is to put the crate (with his bed inside) in an exercise pen. You can then put food and water in the x-pen in one corner with pee pads in the other. Jeri is right, they need positive reinforcement. Try to catch him being 'good' and don't give him much opportunity to be 'bad'. Also, they want to be with you all the time so try to set up the pen in an area that isn't isolated from everyone. Be gentle and consistent with corrections. Patience will pay off: he has a year of bad habits to un-learn.
