Most dogs give off signs. They will sniff a spot and circle. You can watch for tell-tale behavior like that, and immediatly scoop up your dog and take her outside to "do the deed". Each time you go outside, take her to the same spot and use a code word like, "Go potty!" when you want her to us the bathroom. Gently pet her and praise her in a normal tone when she goes outide.
I hope this helps you. I was so unsure when I got my dog...I read all the books and watched all the DVDs and bought all the best products. I can't imagine when I have kids!
When she does use the bathroom where you don't want her to, don't rub her nose in it or anything else like that. Rubbing her nose in poop can cause infections, especially if she has tapeworms or something like that. Just wipe up the spot and make sure (this is very important!) that you use a pet spot cleaner. You can buy the best stuff on the market at PetSmart or SuperPetz. A less effective brand (but it still works) is available at Wal-Mart. If you only wiped up the spot, your dog will go back to that spot and smell her "target", and decide that's where she's supposed to go next time. The cleaner removes all the doggy scent from your floors and furniture, so the puppy can't smell it, and therefore, it isn't a choice potty spot.
If you must leave your dog alone during the day, you may want to crate train or paper train your dog, at least for a little while. They're both extremely effective until your dog is housetrained.
Also, you could put your dog on a schedule to housetrain her. When I first got my Rotti-Shepard pup, I would take him out every 20 minutes. Most of the time, he wouldn't do anything, but it wasn't the point. It got him used to the idea that outside was where that happened.
You also may need to get up during the night and take her out. My dog is 6 months old and now goes outside every two hours during the day and every four hours at night. He is housetrained, though, so I can tell you that this works.
A puppy will need to relieve herself after playing, eating, sleeping or napping, or any other activity that takes her mind away from the task at hand. I would take my puppy out right after eating, drinking water, playing, sleeping, or just lying around. As soon as he would move, we would go outside.
Limiting your dog's water intake is also a possibility. It may just be that she is drinking too much water and her body can't use it all. Dogs should be provided fresh water with every meal, after playtime and sleeping, except at night. That wouldn't be a good idea. You're dog will not die of thirst or anything like

For Pete's sake, it's just a baby! You just got it! Give me a break! First of all, its urinating, not pissing. Nice crude language!
Next, you were most likely not potty trained within a couple days, so try to be patient. I realize that it is difficult, being as perfect as you must be. But you should try to cut the puppy a break. He may need to actually learn something first, and with you teaching him, it could be a while.
Don't pay any attention to all of the people who say to rub the pup's nose in it. That is ridiculous, and just plain mean. All it teaches the pup is to be concerned that you have a bad habit of smashing his head to the floor. He won't get it.
Pick up a book on basic dog care, and you might actually learn something. You need to learn before he will. I wish the pup good luck teaching you how to be a good dog owner.

The important thing in doing anything is to make it come as naturally as possible. For puppies that means regulating when they eat and drink, then taking them outside when the time's right for them to go.
But sooner-or-later (probably sooner) you're going to see or hear them go in the house. If you normally have a quiet home and shower them with affection and respect, it'll be easy for you to discipline them because any indication that you're seriously upset with them will draw the reaction you want.
Just take their little faces, hold them to the piss or poop so they'll be sure to get the idea and shout "no" to them. Do this a few times ... Then simply go back to your routine of regulating when they eat and drink, taking them outside when the time's right.
You might even tell them how good they are when they go outside, to reinforce the message.
Dogs naturally want to please their owners and once attached to you won't want to disappoint you. That's your greatest resource in disciplining them easily and in ensuring that once they know what to do, they'll want to do the right thing on their own.

the best thing is to crate train the puppy. Don't get angry, that only scares the pup. When puppy goes outside and does urinate or defecate there, praise puppy to the high heavens, give a treat. puppies have small bladders and have to go frequently, usually after eating.
crate training is good in that puppies & even older dogs see it as their space. all my puppies (and there have been many) responded well to the crate.
remember puppy is only a baby and pup worships you.
If you can't cope with training, perhaps puppy should go to another home and you could get an older dog who is already housebroken.

Puppies have very small bladders, and no control. Keep the puppy outside until you are sure they have gone (and go out with him). Praise him A LOT every time he pees outside. And let him out often.
Until he grows and learns control you are just going to have accidents. Don't make a big deal out of it. Positive reinforcement only (even though that is really hard).

flick his nose right when he does it; but whatever you do, don't punish him for it even as little as ten minutes later, or rub his nose in it and punish him, dogs will associate that kind of thing with whatever they did last, for example, if he did that, then did something good, and you waited until after hed done the good thing, hed think you were telling him you didnt like the good thing. it takes a long time this way, but there isn't really any short way to do it.

rub your puppy's nose slightly in its pee any time it does that.
it will gradually learn to stop doing that.
