What I've been doing with my baby is this: If I don't catch him when he's sniffing, I catch him when he first squats. I clap my hands and say "No" in a firm voice. Then I put him on his pee pad (which i have in a litter box) and tell him to "go potty". If he looks at me like I'm crazy (which he usually does, lol) I keep putting him there until he goes, even if it takes a while. Most of the time, he won't go and so I watch him VERY carefully for him beginning to sniff again. I put him on the pee pad again and repeat the "go potty" until he finally goes. I then get really excited and dance around and give him a treat. I would suggest clapping your hands or saying "No" whether he's started or not because if has already started to pee, it catches them in the act. For me, clapping my hands or saying "No" makes my baby stop mid-stream. My boyfriend grabbed him before he was finished once without saying "no" or clapping his hands, and pee went EVERYWHERE! He left a trail of pee on the way to the pee pad! I'm still working with my little one, so I have yet to see if this will work, but he's decreased the number of accidents in the house so far. My main concern is him learning where to go to potty even when I'm not watching him. Hope this helps.
