Great question! The best way to do this is crate training. It allows you to keep an eye on Storm for signs that he has to go potty, and will teach him to hold it until you put him outdoors. The crate needs to be big enough for him to stand up, turn around, and lie down, but it should not be big enough for him to go potty in. I will put a link below on crate training a puppy. In addition, to potty train him, start by keeping your puppy on a regular feeding schedule, and taking away his food between meals. Take him out to potty first thing every morning, and once every 30 minutes to an hour. Always make sure he goes out after meals, first thing when he wakes up from a nap, last thing before bedtime at night, and right before you leave the house. Take him to the same spot each time to go potty. His scent there will encourage him to go. Stay with him outside each time he goes to potty, at least until he is fully house trained. When he goes outside, praise him and give him a treat. Best of luck, I hope this helps! https://www.aspcapetinsurance.com/blog/2016/january/19/how-to-crate-train-a-puppy/
