I did not mean to be rude...and I do realize that people work and have a family. But then maybe you should not have gotten a puppy? Many people opt for an adult dog when they must leave the dog for hours at a time.
How many hours a day is the dog crated total?
You could also set up a "safe room" with newspapers or puppy pads in it. It will take forever to housetrain a pup that must relieve itself in it's crate.
If you could find someone to let the pup out at least once a day for just a month or two it would be great. Then with the pup more mature he will have to spend less time in it.
Crates are great tools...but they should not be prisons.
