Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I am not sure what he is still doing but not letting Benji out of your sight is the best thing now. All rooms should be closed, the rooms that do not have doors should have baby gates and he should be leashed to an adult. If he doesn't go when you take him out then he is crated until you can take him out again. He can not have free reign of the house until he has gone 3 months with out an accident. When he goes outside verbally praise him, give him a special yummy treat and play with him for 5 minutes outside. You can also train him to ring a bell to indicate he needs to go outside. I wish you the best!
