Please Help me find a solution for my 6 months dog!
I recently brought a Shih Tzu dog, he's so adorable, we love him so much, we usually leave him at least 8 hours alone a day while I am at work.
Every time I am back the I find him peeing on the carpets and defecating in the coaches. The house's smell so bad and he's not learning to do so in one spot, I bought him special pieces of tissue to so on them, but to no avail.
My question is, if I buy him a big crate, would it help?
But I need to leave him at the crate at least 8 hours a day, I can provide food and toys for him in the crate; but if he wants to urinate or defecate: how is he supposed to do so while he's in his create?
We love him and we don't want to give him away so any quick advice would be greatly appreciated.

Step one:
Don't leave a puppy unattended for long periods of time.
A puppy can't hold it for too long (this is why there's pee and poo around your house)
You can't train him if your away for so long
Crate won't help, unless you're there to train him, which you're not.
Step two:
Try to be committed to the dog, having a dog is a HUGE responsibility, he is under your care. You are held accountable for this dog's behavior. Loving a dog is not only be there to give him belly rubs and treats, it's also being able to provide him with a healthy and stable lifestyle, this goes through training and sometimes disciplining the dog.
If there's really no workaround with your schedule(visiting at lunch time, "daycare", helpful neighbors), I really recommend you to consider re-homing your puppy, it's more frustrating/stressing for the dog than it is for you all the amount of time he is spending alone as a pup.
