There is no easy way.
It takes time.
After a while, they tell you when they want to go.
They will give you that look or scratch on the door or get you the leash.
Just have to dedicate time to housebreaking him.
The crate is something most of them won't do it in if they learn to identify it as home.
Some are hard headed as my Maltese was and crapped in it out of spite I bet.
When Layla came over to my house, my daughter had her for about a year prior. I had to train her. Fortunately, she learned fast.

Good luck.
Meant to mention earlier that your pup is beautiful.
