Do not allow him access to most of your home. Baby gate the house so that he can only access one or 2 rooms (where you spend most of yuour time). Also, do not leave him unsupervised in the house. If you cannot supervise him, take him out to use the restroom then crate him. However, at first, do your very best to limit the amount of time in the crate. Come home from work and allow him to go out and use the restroom during the day if possible. As soon as he comes out of the crate - back outside and not inside until after he goes. After a few days I am certain his crate urination will stop. Then (if you wish) you can begin to leave him out in 1 small room while you are gone. He should generalize his crate training to the room (provided it is small enough and you maintain the same schedule). Continue to build onthis and soon he can have access to other rooms. You shoul dsee improvemetns within a couple of weeks. However, with any new dog, esp a rescue you must be patient. These things take time.
