hi and welcome
he is still very young i have a ckc she is 18 weeks and clean day and night(only done this in last weeks) it is all about routine and patience and some pups are faster learners.as for the crate never used one so can not realy advice you on that ,i have 5 dogs so mine all go out together,but after her jabs i would put her out soon as she woke,after eating,first thing in a morning,from your thread you are doing all this
they click when they are ready ,my dog was clean in the day first night time took abit longer ,so dont worry you are doing fine
