Giving me this time line has helped me to think more long term.
No water after 7pm. Listen to the trainers. after your pup is housebroken, you can give him water all the time, but during the housebreaking phase, limit his water intake.

If you make his crate area smaller, by stuffing it with cardboard or some other material, where the only place he has to pee is right under him, then he will start fussing before he has to pee. He will attempt to get out to void instead of voiding where he has to lie down. You do need to make sure that the area you are blocking up is secure and he cannot find a way to get into a small corner to void, away from where he lays down.
