Hi, welcome to YT!
jordie is still very much a baby and won't pick up on the house training for another couple weeks. However you still want to train him to go outside whenever you can. When i got morgan she didn't really want to potty outside either. However i made her go where i wanted her to go and didn't leave that spot until she went. Luckily tho, it was summer and i couple stand out there as long as i wanted without getting cold. here is a link to my breeders site of puppy care information.

If you scroll down at 1/3 of the way you will see a bit on housetraining. This is what i did with morgan and it worked. She now goes potty only outside. Don't worry about him spending alot of time in his crate. puppies usually sleep alot anyway and this is what he'd be doing inside or outside the crate.
