I definitely agree with the "you just gotta put up with the howling/whining for a while" until he's finally able to sleep through the night. Our pup Aki was kept in a small pen in the kitchen area while she was being housebroken. And she was DEFINITELY a howler/screamer.
She still has a set of lungs... when we went back to visit, 6am on the dot, she'd wake everyone up. "WALK TIME!" XD Of course, that's what her schedule is like now (mom gets up that early to take her for a walk), so damn US for intruding on her schedule...!!
Anyhow, she's two years old now, and things worked out, but yes, I definitely have to agree that the only thing you really can do is get earplugs and just put up with he nighttime crying until he settles down for the night.
