Puppies have the bladder control to hold their urine 1 plus their age in months. So your little fella has the bladder control to last 4-5 hours.
Crate training will definitely help with potty training. The crate needs to be big enough for him to stand, turn, and lay down. It should not be too big where they can have a spot to use as the bathroom and the other end to sleep. When you return take your puppy to where you would like him to urinate, wait until he does then praise, and give treats.
Positive reinforcement is key. Never leave a puppy alone when you are home. They need constant supervision to prevent and correct accidents. If you catch him having an accident rush him to the correct place then praise.
There is another 24 hour method. Place your puppy in a crate, then every hour take him outside or to potty pad to urinate or defecate. If successful play with him for 10 minutes, if unsuccessful after 5 minutes place him back in the crate. Repeat this procedure every hour for 1 day.
Puppies can get very distracted outside. Do not play with your puppy until he has urinated or defecated. At any success give a treat and praise a lot.
