I haven't personally had this problem(Newbie) but my girlfriend brought a rescue dog home from the shelter at 10 weeks old. Her puppy did the same thing till she was 4 months. She pretty well knew when she was inside the house but out of her crate that she needed to do her business outside. She started cutting the potty training pads in half and sticking one in there with Jesse when she would leave. She did it for a week or so and forgot to put one in one morning but left the old one laying right next to it. When Abby got home she let Jesse out, she ran right to the pad and did her business on it. Abby moved the pad further from the kennel until Jesse got it under control.
Don't know if that will help at all. Have you tried making the kennel as dark as possible during the day?
