Little dogs can be a bit of a bugger to house break.

You need to stop letting him have access. Get yourself a six foot leash - put him on one end and attach the other end to your belt loop. This way there is absolutely no way he can sneak off and have an accident and you can see the first signs that he has to go outside to take care of business.

If, at any time, you can not keep him in your sight (or on the other end of that leash) he needs to go in his crate. You will NEVER break this habit if there is any way that he can get away and potty where you can not see him.

Praise him mightly when he potties outside and DO NOT, under ANY circumstances, punish him if he has an accident in the house.
