If you're trying to housebreak your little eenymeeny, it's a great-great idea to control when the dog eats and drinks. By this I mean get him-her on a schedule for feeding times AND watering times. Unless your dog is sick or overheated or you're out of the house for very long stretches, it doesn't need constant water all day long. So, why not pick 5-6 times throughout the day and give your dog the biggest bowl of water there ever was each of these times. Take the bowl away after 15 minutes until the next time. You'll be training your dog to drink when the bowl hits the floor. Then, you can keep a chart of each time you watered your dog and each time they peed it all out. After 3-4 days of consistently monitoring water, you're going to see a lovely pattern- you'll finally figure out how long it takes your dog to pee after he's drank water. If you know that much, you can predict when your eenymeeny is due to empty his sweet bladder, and this will take care of half of the mysteriousness of the housebreaking secret. do the same with food: monitor intake, monitor output. Constantly. if you do what I say here, there will be no more "surprise" poos on the new carpet and pees in front of your fridge.
