Aw, I'm right here with you guys - it sucks. Nikko is getting close to 6months old (we've had him since he was 12 weeks), and he's not all the way there yet with potty training either. We're proud that it's been three days without an accident now! LOL, little victories. We're crate training/bell training as well, and I probably would have jumped off the roof by now if I didn't have so much help from my DH.
Here's something I've started doing recently, if you want to give it a try too. Whenever he has an accident, we clean it with nature's miracle thoroughly, and let it dry. Then later that day or the next day, I drop a handful of his kibble on the floor around on that area for him to discover and enjoy eating (eating kibble off the floor is so much more fun than out of the bowl!). The idea is that he won't want to pee where he eats.
It might just be a crazy idea, but the only places he has accidents now are places where he has never or rarely eaten kibble. I've started just randomly sprinkling parts of his meals in these areas daily, in the hopes that it might actually be making a difference. He used to pee next to the TV all the time until we cleaned it well and fed him there every day for about a week. Our hallway now looks like a kibble minefield :-)
