I put Mia in a crate when I am not watching her. But I spend a lot of time with her. When she gets in the crate it's usually her nap time anyway, so she just goes to sleep.
Mia usually goes pee pee and potty the first thing when she wakes up in the morning. I take her out of her crate and without putting her on the floor once, I walk outside carrying her on my lap. She goes pee pee and potty right away. If your dog goes the first thing when he wakes up, just take him outside and give him treats and lots of praise when he goes pee pee and potty. That might be a good start to get him to understand how things are supposed to work.
Good luck.
