It is hard to make a specific recommendation with the information you provided, so lets check and make sure the basics are being covered.
a) Proper size crate for puppy to sleep in and be confined when unsupervised.
b) Go from crate to designated elimination area (always same spot), immediate reward and praise only when the puppy eliminates in the designated area. If puppy does not take care of business within about 5 min, straight back to crate, try again in 15 to 30 min.
c) Donot scold or discipline puppy for eliminating in the house. When you catch it in the act, sternly tell it NO! or STOP!, snatch it up and take it immediatly to elimination area, reward and praise when it finishes.
d) Completely clean spot (spots) in house where it has eliminated with a cleaning solution inteded for urine odor removal.
e) Afford it the opportunity to eliminate after sleep, food, play, and age apropriate time, they can hold their bladder about 1 hr for each month of age, upto 6 months.
f) Be patient, a lot of pups donot get the idea right or make the connections until after 12 weeks old.
Good Luck
