I am really sorry if I sounded critical. I just couldn't understand somethings. And yes I sure do know what apartment living is like. I think I understand now that you can get the dog to a yard when he is out for a period of time but literly no place just to take him out for a quick pee!
I had a puppy that we had to take care of in the winter and he was totally paper trained as it was to cold to take him outside. When he would pee off the paper I would soak up a scant amount of the urine with a piece of newspaper and put it on his paper he was to pee on. I also made sure his food and bedding was far away from the paper area. It took awhile but finally worked.
