Toilet Training Puppies

difficult situation toilet training puppy - advice needed please!?

I'm taking care of a 9 month old puppy for my friend while she is away for 2 months. Apparently this pup has not been well toilet trained at all! He has been kept outside on a tiny balcony with a plastic crate to sleep and a "pad" to pee on (which doesn't work, by the way). He either pees all over the balcony floor, or whenever he's let inside the apartment, he pees all over the *white* carpets (who in their right mind has a puppy + white carpeting??). I have tried to put the pup on a routine feeding schedule so that I can take him out to poo after meals, but the biggest problem is still the peeing everywhere. It also seems that it pees on the balcony to get attention from me, so I've just ignored that until I am ready to bring him out. I've read so many articles on toilet training but the difference/problem is that I can't just pick up the pup when it's peeing and bring him outside because 1) that will ruin all the carpeting, and 2)outside is all the way down the elevator and lobby.

Here's the way I've heard to housetrain a puppy for a place like that:

Find a reasonably sized room (not too big, not too small) such as a bathroom (or in your case, balcony) in which to keep the puppy, and cover the floor with pee pads. Thus the dog will have no choice but to go on the pads. Then over about a week's time, slowly remove the pads one at a time until you're down to just 1 pad. If the puppy continues to use that one pad, you're all set. If he doesn't, you have to increase the number of pads and try again.

That will train the puppy to go on the pad, if that's your goal.
