I have nothing to add (that I can think of anyway)... I would definitely crate train!!!! I think that if you're dealing with a young pup (which you are), that is the best way to house train a puppy.

Good luck!

I would say whenever you cannot be with him and watch him for accidents. You'll learn the signs before he squats pretty quickly. If you cannot watch him - crate him!!

I think that if he is not crying and getting panicky when you are not aroung or when you leave him crated when you leave the house, there is no reason for him not to see you when you're around.
It is important that you expose him to different sights, smells and noises.
