welcome to yt. yes, it is a friendly, busy and helpful place. what i did to break mine was constant eye on them. very constant. and when you see them start to squat startle with a sharp "no" or "out". then immediately take them out. I rewarded with a small treat as soon after they did it. this was aside taking them out after a nap and after eating or playing. this is what worked for me. i dont know any thing about crate traing. i didn't keep mine in a crate. i would have had to have one big enough to make room for me to be in with them. LOL.
good luck and remember it takes time and patience. just stay calm they will soon get the idea.
