hi, i would start by saying that a crate is a good idea keeps them out of mischief, and also your pup is only 8 weeks old and this is going to happen it will take time and patents i started crate training with my pup and he was the same but as he got older he learnt that wee an poo outside is good with lots of fuss and attention and no fuss from doing it inside, just give pup time and im sure other will have more advise for you.

in my crate in 1 end i put a fluffy bed and the other i put a newspaper but made sure there was room between the 2 and the bed was like a cave so he had to go in it to sleep maybe you could try something like that.
you could also try covering the crate with a blanket to make it seem safer
