Oh good. Don't feel bad. They really end up loving it.
I would take him out of the crate and directly outside every hour when I was home. I would let him play for 20 minutes if he peed outside as a reward and put him back in the crate. Then repeat. Make sure the crate is only big enough for him to lay down. We had a divider and could't keep a blanket in there b/c he would pee on it and bury it. Consistency is key and if you take him out and he doesn't go then put him back in for a bit.
