If you put lots of peepads down he will learn to use them in emergencies. Is there someone near you that can come and check on him and take him outside when you can't? Could you maybe take a week or two off from work to bond and take him out every hour on the hour?

She has an xpen which is what we put her crate in. This is her place that we want her to ge used to until she is a bit older and can have more freedom.
I decided she just can't hold it for 1.5 to 2 hours right now and I can't go home every hour...and I also can't take time off from work...so...for the next few days I will just leave her crate door open and leave her in the pen with a couple of potty pads. We will try crating her next week to see if she can hold it longer...if not...we'll go back to the pen and try the crate a week later again.
