Pick a certain time every hour. Go outside with him. Let him sniff for a few minutes but before you let him go back in, point to the ground and say sternly, "Go pee-pee". Do NOT let him (or you) go back inside until he does. When he does, you're right there and you can praise him - go nuts praising. Then go back inside. An hour later, repeat. He will catch on. Samantha was done within a day or two of intensive once-an-hour every day training.
Ditto!

That worked for all 3 of ours, we took them out just about every hour, sometimes less.

Also Im not sure about the whole food thing, but Jasper didn't eat adult food until he was 1 year either.
