Schedules work the best. I would feed my puppies wait 30 minutes then walk them, even if they made on their pads they were still walked. You just have to see how long after they eat when they make. The schedule must be the same time every day, rain, cold, snow, sleet dress them for the weather but out they must go.
Constancy is the key factor in house breaking. It's never the dog failed, it's the human that fails.
When they went for their walks I would repeat over and over to pee-pee or poo-poo, letting them know what they were being walked for. When they did their business I would reward them with a kibble or two and praise like crazy.
Feed same time every day, walk same time every day regardless of whether they already went on or off their pads take them out. Dogs do best being on a schedule.
All of my puppies were 100% house broken at 6 months old.
