I got Milo at 7 months and crate trained him. It really is not a mean thing think of it as the puppys indoor dog house it becomes there safe place. It is very important to follow the instructions on the crate we tend to want to give them more room then sugested because we think that what they say is too small but in the end they are right. Your other option is with the pads pick a small area with out the rugs and gate it off and place pee pads over the entire floor area every few days remove one of the outer pads that the dog is not going on eventually you will see a pattern of were the dog is going and in the end that is were you place the pads. Remember there is no quick fix just like with children it takes time...and yes I also agree if you are not going to breed him you should have him fixed.
