I'm going through the same thing...potty training. We are doing the crate method and supposedly the best method.
This may help.

You have to remember one thing about every dog. They will not go where they live. So, if you are willing to put some work into it, your dog will not go inside, or even anywhere near the house if that is what you want. I had a Siberian growing up and we trained him very well, but it did take work. Now, some people say that cage breaking is cruel, but it isn't. Just don't ignore him while he's in there. Also, it doesn't have to be a tiny little kennel. We had a large cage, probably about five feet or more of space for him. When he has to go, he will start to fuss. Take him out immediately and carry him out to where you would like him to do his business. If you don't want him to relieve himself in the front yard or on the porch, carry him away from the house. That's the work part. Don't get lazy with it. And don't ignore him while he is in the cage. After some time you can take the cage away and let him think his living area has extended. Just make sure you watch him and I would still recommend the cage at night until you are happy with his progress.

I have had dog's most of my life (over 25 years) and I can say the easiest way to potty train a pup is by way of crate training. There is a wealth of information out there on crate training. It may be hard at first to get used to the whimpering and whining but if you can tolerate it for a day or two the rewards will outweigh the feeling of guilt that some owners feel. In the meantime, if you need some tips on getting accidents out of your carpet here are a couple of products that do the trick. Natures Miracle is a good one for stain and odor...my personal fav is Resolve Spot Carpel Cleaner with Dual Power. Best of luck with him!! Hope this helps!

Try crate training for one option. Also make taking him out the first thing you always do when you wake up, go to bed, come home from work, etc. Be sure to reward with a treat each time he comes back in. Also buy some WEE WEE pads, and keep them in the area that leads outside. He may still mess, but at least it will be in the right area, and he will get used to the pads, and as I said rewarding for good behavior...ALWAYS. Be patient, and all will work out.

Get a crate for him.....he should be in the crate when you can't watch him. Take him outside after eating, napping, playing, first thing in the morning, just before bed. DO NOT give him the opportunity to pee inside. Watch him closely, when he starts sniffing around, take him out. When you are outside, (he should be on leash) do not play with him. Tell him calmly to go potty, and stand still until he goes. AS SOON as he is finished, praise like crazy and treat. Even play a bit. DO NOT wait until you are inside to praise him, it will be too late. If he has an accident inside, (and he will) DO NOT rub his nose in it, yell at him, spank him, or anything of the sort. If you catch him mid-pee, scoop him up calmly and take him outside to finish. If not, calmly clean it up with a vinigar/water solution and put him in his crate. If he is in his crate during the day, take him outside about every hour to 2 hours to pee.

Why could you get a canines if he isn't allowed interior your place? it rather is only hassle-free merciless to the domestic dog. while he's interior the exterior for the duration of the day, are you WITH him maximum individuals of the time? I doubt it. additionally, why did not you get a crate before bringing your canines abode? It does not look as in case you have been somewhat arranged for him. in case you think of not having a crate is the concern, get one!!! even nevertheless, that's generic for doggies to cry and howl at night. there is not lots you're able to do yet wait till he gets used to the atmosphere and prevents howling. a chum of my had her 2 childrens camp next to their doggies crate at night to maintain him organisation and that definitely worked; the domestic dog slept interior the process the night.

This worked wonders with my sibe puppy...
Make sure you take him out right after he eats, first! Our pup was never punished for soiling in the house. We made sure we went outside every 2-3 hours with him for 5 minutes. Before going outside we would say, do you need to go outside? Then we would go outside with him, take him to the area we wanted him to soil (on leash)...waited 5 minutes and if no pee...straight back inside for a half hour...then back out till he did...only stay outside for 5 minutes...if he did his business...we would praise him lavishly. It took us about 3 weeks till he started barking when we asked him about outside or on his own at the door...as well as to get back in! Also the crate is a must at night! He is now 4 mos and sleeps through the night....and barks to be let out. Good luck! Just remember, leash until he gets it and go outside with him for 5 minutes, praise for washroom breaks and 2-3 hour intervals. A pup usually needs to relieve one hour more than their month age (ie 4 mos, every 5 hours).

you have to catch them in the act and with a firm voice say no. dogs listen to the tone of your voice. take the dog outside right away to finish his business.
with our puppy we took him out every couple hours for the first few days until he learned and gave him treats and praised him when he would go outside. my puppy is now 3 yrs old and in all his life has only had 3 accidents on the floor and they were within the first week we got him.
good luck!!

Whatever you do, NEVER punish a puppy for going in the house - if you didn't catch it in the act, it has no idea what you're mad about. If you do catch it in the act, it only learns not to go in front of you, which can cause huge problems when you're trying to teach him where it's OK to go.
