All pups are different and catch on at different ages and progress depending on the amount of training they have. If he knows what to do and where to do it I would suggest that in order to get him to the door to signal for potty time every time and not some of the time that you.
Slowly start moving those pee pads closer and closer to the door where you take him in and out of for potty time. a few feet every other day and I would say within a week or two have them right at the door. That way he can signal (ring the bell) every time, no ifs or and about it. He will be right there and there should be no excuse for him not to ring the bell when he needs to go.
Plus another option is to work on his come and sit commands you can easily train him to come to you where every you are to ask to be let outside. You can find instructions on how this method works on my site below.
