Definitely get some puppy pads and try to really train him to use those when it's not possible to take him out. They have a lot of products on the market now that can help with us apartment/condo dwellers. That said, one of the things that has helped me the most living in a condo is maintaining a really regular schedule with my guys. I always make sure that they don't have to wait excessively long to go out and we stick to a fairly regular schedule, even on the weekends. Now, granted, I got both my guys as adult dogs, but they have never had an accident in the house (at least not when they weren't sick) and they are excellent about "telling" me when they have to go out. That's something else really important - working to develop a system by which your little guy can tell you that he has to go out.
