I feel your pain. I have a 15 month old Maltese, whom I've had for almost a year and he's still having accidents in the house. He's never had an accident in his crate, though. I've tried all that you've tried as well. I'm at a lost, too. I also have a 4 yr old yorkie who has an occasional accident as well. The problem is that I can't teach them to let me know when they need to go out. I've tried the Poochie bells and the tell bell with no luck. So, I'm not too sure what I've done so wrong with my maltes. :-( My biewer (6 months old) came to me pad trained, but doesn't mind going outside, so he's been a breeze. He caught on to ringing the tell bell all too well. He rings it everytime he wants to go outside, and not to potty, but to play. LOL. Maybe you could try the tell bell.
