@mnewby36 Is this a troll post?
You have told me in this post that the dog was neglected, abused, and is also grieving (dogs do that) and now in a new home.
Ok; so, firstly, how long have you had the dog? It takes time to settle.
When the dog has an accident DO NOT punish him, take them outside and gently put them on the grass.
See if there is a pattern, stay with the dog until they poop.
Try to make a routine.
I mean 6 times a day isn’t that many, if you said
- first thing in the morning, last thing at night
- after breakfast and dinner
That’s 4 times already.
I suggest looking at dog / puppy toilet training guides and being patient, he’s been through a lot x
