Puppies don't have good control over their bladders until they are about 4 months of age so some accidents are likely to occur prior to this. Prevention is key. Can you crate or otherwise confine the dog while your working on housetraining? If so, you can take the dog out and allow him approximately 3 mins to eliminate. If nothing happens, take him back inside and confine and then try again in about 15 mins. If the dog does eliminate allow about 30 mins of supervised free/play time. Its a good idea to take him outside about every 30-60 minutes reguarly to get him in the habit of eliminating on a specfic surface...such as grass.
