I take it you mean a golden retriever mix? if so, they need plenty of exercise, takes a lot to tire them, have you tried a Kong in the cage? pack it with possibly part of their daily kibble with a few added treats, use it only as a treat when he's to go into the cage. turn a radio on low or possibly leave the tv on low volume so he can see/hear people. is there a neighbour that could come in a couple times to take the pup out? 9 weeks is much too long to have him hold it, at most he will only be comfortable for 3 hours before he would need to be taken out. we use to own a poodle mix and she was always very very vocal. good luck.
