Started leaving his crate open today and thought it was going well, he played with his toy for a b it in there then since that has walked in and peed im there twice.
Patience is key I guess. It's only day 3 should've expect miracles

How big is the crate? He shouldn't have that much room to move around in there, it will prevent him from peeing in it. We had a crate that you can adjust the size as he gets bigger. We crate trained him until he was around 6 months then he graduated to a small pen...now he has a pretty large pen that both dogs hang out in when we leave and at night. Like someone else said, they'll get into trouble if they have the run of the house, but we didn't want to put them into such a confined space all the time so a pen was a good compromise. We leave the door open when we're home and they go in there to nap and escape etc, it's their "house".
We had a ton of accidents and then one day he just "got it", we have a yard tho. Honestly man....you really want your dog peeing on pads in your apartment when he's fully grown? IMO you should suck it up and walk him. It'll be a pain in the ass for a while but worth it in the end.
