For the bathroom issue, he will hold it as long as he possibly can to avoid soiling the space he calls home. Just keep taking him outside every hour or two for 5-10 minutes at a time until he goes. If he doesn't go, take him directly back to the crate until another hour or two passes. Once he does his business outside, praise the hell out of him, big happy smile and friendly tone of voice, like he just won the grand prize for best dog in the world. Simultaneously give him something really yummy like a piece of processed cheese.
