House training takes time and more so with certain breeds. I agree with others here, don't let the dog have free reign of the house. If it has an accident in the house make sure to deodorize the spot so they aren't prone to go there again since many dogs rely on smell to do the deed. Vanilla extract is a great deodorizer for pet smells.
When you take it out, take it on the leash so it isn't able to head to the door right away, this way you have control over where in the yard you'd like it to go, you kill 2 birds with one stone. Limit the water in the evenings and general rule of thumb is that they'll need to go anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes after drinking or eating so don't allow it to free eat, feed it at certain times then you'll have more control over when it needs to go out. You've only been at it for a week, I'm sure even the most genius breeds have to be worked with for longer than a week to get it right.
