I have a 6 mo. old Dachshund and he is very stubborn, he will not go on pad or when we take him outside. As soon as i take him back inside he goes on the carpet. He knows he does wrong because when we catch him he runs away and hides untill we clean it.

Confine your pet to a puppy playpen, etc. until he's regular. Take him outside before and after any play period. Do not scold just get him on a schedule. My 8 month old BC is still not allowed on the carpet unless we are with him. The minute I see him dancing around it's out the door. He also knows the commands for pee and poop, I always take him to the exact same location and when I leave I confine him in his crate where he will not mess unless it's for a long day and then he's in a pen and I can't complain if he messes in there.

I'd probably run if you were chasing me - think like a dog. He knows from your tone of voice that you are not happy and he'd better run.
I've had 3 dachshunds. They are not the easiest dogs to housetrain. I always say that it's because their brain is so far from the bladder. Anyway, he will have to be crated and on a schedule or the problems will continue.
Get an enzyme cleaner for the carpet that will destroy the residual urine. He is going back to the same spot because of the smell.
I use "Urine Off". It's the best I have found. Then you can follow up with Nature's Miracle.
Try an internet search on "Housebreaking a puppy" and get your info. Am listing one site below. Some people I know, keep the puppy on a leash attached to their waist when he is not in the crate. He is less likely to go in the house if he can't get to his spot.

I have a 9 month old month old miniature dachshund, and while she still has an occasional accident, I have had a great deal of success house-breaking her. First of all, I believe that pee pads are confusing and not at all good train aids. The preveious answer to this question was right on, crating and scheduling are the keys to success. Also, if you can have him around another dog who is completley house broken often they will follow along. Basically, the key is consistency. Take him out alot and stay out with him until you are sure he has gone. Even if you have to wait a long time. Good luck!

We always used the stand outside till they go potty method, and lots of praise, every hour on the hour. It seemed the older dogs went out and the younger would follow to do their business, I bought a spayed female adult from a breeder and have problems with her, seems her bladder is about the size of a walnut,,,,,,she has to go real often..... Dont let your dog loose on the carpet unsupervised, seems at this point the pups trained to go on the carpet and has to be untrained, good luck,,,,,keep trying. perserverence wins.
