Questions About My Cosmo

He is about 6 months old. I got him from a local breeder last Friday. The pup belonged to the breeders mum, but she took ill. So, I adopted him. He is cute and frisky. However he soils (wee wee and poo) his wire crate and will not make outdoors no matter how long I have him outside. Last night his cage was clean, and I took him out at 5am and he would not make. I fed and gave him water and then took him out again, no luck. I went to work and my daughter takes care of him in the daytime. She also takes him out frequently as well. He has been wormed 4 times and 3 sets of puppy shots. Vet visit in next Monday. He is walking better on the leash with coaxing and a training treat. He comes to the door when called to go for a walk. I know it is a big adjustment, but why is he not eliminating outdoors? Am I being a bit paranoid here? I appreciate all your help and advice. Thank you, Lisa
