The more you take your Pom outside, the more chances you will have to teach a housebreaking lesson.
If he does not pee or poo, you've lost nothing except a small window of time.
So, you will want to bring your Pom to the bathroom spot as much as possible.
Aside from those times that your pup makes a motion to go (squatting or lifting a leg), even if there is no indication of having a bathroom need, bring your Pom out:
1. Immediately after your Pom wakes up (both in the morning and after naps)
2. Right when taken out of the playpen
3. 20 minutes after eating a meal
4. 20 - 30 minutes before bedtime
5. Before every walk. Do not miss this opportunity to teach housebreaking lessons by just letting your Pom pee or poo along the walking route.
6. Every 2 hours for a 2 month old, every 3 hours for a 3 month old, etc.
Note: It is important to extend the time like this so that bladder and bowel muscles are given the opportunity to grow stronger. If a dog is never given the chance to hold his needs, it can take much longer for those muscles to reach their peak strength.

Aside from those times that your pup makes a motion to go (squatting or lifting a leg), even if there is no indication of having a bathroom need, still bring your Pom out:
