It's hard at first because you don't want to hear them cry and you want to "rescue" them. You can't. Don't give in!
I crate trained Aggie. At first, every 15 minutes, I'd bring Aggie to her "spot", a pee pad in the laundry room. Then, I dragged it out to 20 ~ 30 minutes. Oh yeah, it was difficult at first but once they learn to "hold" or you learn their schedule, it'll be much much easier.
Now, here's another option for when he's older. Leash him and tie him around you. That way, you'll learn to see their I-want-to-use-the-bathroom signs.
You will be able to scoop him up and show him his appropriate spot. You wait after the fact, it will do no good. They wouldn't know why you're mad.
Good luck!!
