You can also make a schedule based on accidents, you might need to take him outside more often. Also, you might want to consider duel training, where he has an option to use a pee pad. It's actually a great thing to have a dog pad trained. Joey did really well in the training department, but I don't think you can expect 100% until they are closer to one year. Illnesses, teething, neutering can all throw them off. The important thing to remember is to ignore the mistakes and reward the success, most people do the opposite and that will have disastrous long term effects.
