We trained our chap in a block of flats.
Not saying our way is the best way but we just sucked it up and went up and down two flights of stairs over one thousand times in the first few months.
Initially we took him out every thirty minutes from morning to night, extending to every 60 as he progressed. In the crate inbetween, unless he was playing. Basically just followed what the puppy book we bought said about crate/toilet training.
He only pissed inside twice. Of course, our cat pissed inside about 50 times because we introduced a predator to the home so we hardly got away with it entirely.

Anyone have any tips for housetraining a puppy when you don't have a garden?
Particularly how you get past the "doesn't go no matter how often or long you go out, saves it for when you get home" phase?
I've tried starting every walk with the same stretch of road, which worked for a bit but has now worn off.
(puppy also doesn't seem to be into treats or verbal cues...)
