Indoor puppy training, crate training, and potty pads.?

I just brought home a nine week-old Maltipoo on Friday and have been crate training him. He is doing very well, he has adapted to the crate both at day and during the night, we have regular play time (every hour) and after his second round of shots he will begin daily walks. He has an indoor pen with a potty pad, another crate (I also have one in my room for nighttime), toys, and water; when left alone he will use the potty pad and if I put him on the potty pad and say, “Go potty,” he will go. When I go back to work next week, this pen will be his home (I'm out of the house for nine hours), so I'm very pleased that he uses the pad. My question is this, how do I get him to go to the potty pad by himself? I still watch him when he is out and he will sniff around and start to squat, how do I get him to go to the appropriate place?

I have read so much information on training and I praise him, treat him, etc. When he starts to squat, I'll make a noise and run him to the potty pad where he will go potty. Because of our schedule and the crate we have only had one or two accidents. I just can't connect how to go from his willingness to use the pad to having it be the only place he will go.

Or am I better off training him to go outside? I've heard that this is easier (and less messy), but can I expect him to hold it for nine hours, isn't he too young?

Thanks in advance for your tips, suggestions, and help!
