   I would never rib his nose it in, or punish him. Pottying isn't bad. it's   
   WHERE he's pottying that is not desired. If you rub his nose in it, he   
   will continue to potty in the house, because  he  ""HAS""to potty,  but he   
   can hide it.   
   Take him out stay with him, reward him.If you must come in, Bring him in   
   with you. Crate him in asmall crate, and in 10 minutes, take him back out   
   and try again.   
   Some dogs do not house break over night. And your methods, as described   
   certainly are not helping.   
   Throw your book away.   
      
   try this.You can get it for 85 cents in the used books.   
   If you follow the methods in this guide, I guarantee a housebroken puppy.   
      
   Thanks diddy, looks good
