My Yorkie puppy pees everywhere. How do I train him for pee pads?

Question

Charles is a 6 mo old yorkie. We have mastered the crate and he has a puppy apartment for his sleeping and crate potty needs (the crate is large enough & has a divider that separates the sleeping area from the potty area). He hardly ever messes in it. However when he is out of the crate, if I am not careful, the whole house is his pee pad. I would like him to use a pee pad when I can't get him out on time. I use dog treats and praise but still struggling. Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Male | unneutered | 6 months and 13 days old | 3 lbs

Keep him on a leash attached to your hip until he is completely house trained. Watch for his cues that he may need to use the pad or go outside. This can be circling, sniffing around, pacing and/or whining. To get him to use the pads consistently, you can try a spray attractant. These training aids can be purchased online or in most pet stores.
