Hi Kary,

Welcome.

I had both my first Corgis from 8 weeks old and was in a similar situation. If you make sure he is not drinking water after 8:00 PM, and he goes outside for a pee around 10:00, he should be able to hold it until the AM. The first thing you must do in the morning is pick him up from his crate - don't let those feet hit the floor and carry him outside for his first pee. Get him out for another pee and poop just after eating.
If you have the space, I think they are better off in a larger space with an area set aside for pee and poop - either with newspaper or pee pads. Essentially you have to train him to eliminate in one place inside, then teach him to go outside at the same time. First you house train then you house break. It's not the simplest way of doing things, but some of us have no choice due to our work hours. Both my dogs were fine and eventually learned to only go outside and to go every time we go outside. I took them out first thing until they were each a year old - by then their bladders were large enough to hold the pee until after they had eaten.
