The Advice That Works for Houses Was Never Written for Apartments
Every potty training guide says the same thing: take your dog outside every hour, after meals, after naps, first thing in the morning. That works when outside is a door away. In a high-rise, outside is a hallway, an elevator, a lobby, and a walk to the nearest patch of grass. The gap between your dog needing to go and actually getting outside is 10 to 15 minutes.
That gap is longer than a puppy can hold it. The advice wasn't written for you
2
Your Puppy Physically Cannot Hold It Long Enough for the Elevator Trip
Even when you time it perfectly, a puppy's bladder cannot wait long enough. A puppy can hold its bladder for roughly one hour per month of age. An eight-week-old can only hold it for about two hours. That journey takes several minutes even on a good day.
The accidents aren't a training failure. There is not enough time.

The Weeks You Couldn't Go Outside Were the Exact Weeks That Set Your Dog's Habits
If you got your dog in the city, you already know about the vaccination window. Most vets say to keep unvaccinated puppies away from anywhere other dogs go for the first few months because sniffing around those spots can make them seriously sick.
That is exactly when daily habits set and stick, and outdoor training in the city is off the table. The disposable pad sitting inside had no smell to give your dog a reason to use it instead of your floor.
4
Treating the Pad as a Backup Is Why the System Keeps Breaking Down
Most training advice treats pads as a temporary tool: use them until the dog can make it outside, then phase them out. In an apartment, there is no phase-out point. You will always need a pad inside for nights, long shifts, and mornings when the elevator is slow.
Once your dog figures out the pad is optional, they treat it as optional. The accidents continue regardless.

The Pad Needs to Work Without You There. This One Does.
You've tried stricter schedules, earlier mornings, and midnight elevator trips. None of it changes the fact that you can't always be there when your dog needs to go.
The NovaPaw Pup Pad uses Patented Pheromone Infusion, a scent woven into the fabric that mimics the smell dogs use to mark their go-to spots. Your dog's nose finds it and the decision is already made. The pad holds 4+ pees without leaking to your floor, through a full shift or overnight.
Most apartment owners notice fewer accidents within the first week.
