All I can suggest is what I'm doing. Pooky is not completely house trained, I hear they can be more difficult, but we are a work in progress for sure.
I choose not to get mad at him and take responsibility for the training at this point because really it's on me. At first, when he had an accident I soaked the urine into a paper towel and set it in the yard for him to smell the next time we went out and have done this with his poo as well. I can typically tell if he needs to go out. Within 15 min of eating, after waking from a nap or all night, after hard playing. Just watch for those signs, the heavy sniffing and tail up.
Lots of praise when he goes outside. Oh, it's a party! Clapping and petting and praise! I think that's the absolute key to house training or any behavior you want a pet to do, is congratulating them when they succeed. Play down the mistakes and ...give a "chich," sound warning, or one firm "no."
And of course consistency
