Awww he's just a wee baby.

Take him out on the hour every hour...in the middle of the night...expect him to need to out too. As he gets older and bigger...he won't need to go out as often. When you take him out....WALK him. Don't stand there and expect him to go...walking stimulates them to potty.

Make sure you have made his crate so small he is only able to stand or lay down. If necessary place something in the back...a shoe box, etc. Understand he is very small...his bladder is very small and he will need to go out frequently. Don't expect him to be able to hold it for hours just because he is crated. Making the area smaller will discourage him greatly...

Personally unless you want him pad trained forever...I wouldn't go that route. Reggie came to me pad trained...and I was never able to train him to go outside all the time. He doesn't "get" why going inside isn't an option any more. So we use pads and outside. My others are trained completely to outside.

I will say...you have a long way to go before he's completely trained.

Good luck.
