He is still a baby. It is not too early to be trying to potty train him, but it is much to early to give up on him. His little bladder just isn;t able to hold it all yet. I think someone has posted some housebreaking hints in the files. Go to the files section and read that and see if any of the suggestions help.....
Make sure he is crated when he can not be supervised. Always take him to his proper potty place about 10 minutes after he has eaten or drank. Praise like crazy when he does go. Quickly clean any accidents. during play time, take him out at intervals and give a one word command (like potty or something) keep a short leash on him while out to potty to encourage him to go and not to explore. watch for signs that he is trying to go inside and quickly take him out or to the pad or whatever. Number one rule...patience! These are quickie hints, but go read the files.
