My papillon is getting progressively WORSE with his potty training. More and more he is going inside as opposed to outside, and he has even started going in his kennel after only an hour! (Middle of the night he use to sleep through, no accidents)
Now will spanking his butt really affect him? I think not, let me know how you trained your seemingly hopeless pet please!

Yes, he is in perfect health by the vet. I am working a 40 hour week, but keep him in a safe room during the day to avoid accidents in the kennel... like I was told to do. I am seriously considering a stricter schedule on potty times and feeding. My boyfriend has another dog who is trained but she runs around freely and my puppy doesn't understand why he can't do that yet. So I guess I'm going to have to put her on the schedule too to avoid jealousy and misinterpretation of the kennel.

Get the dog checked by the vet and if there is no medical problem; you need to start NILIF training.
It stands for Nothing in Life is Free. The dog must start working for food - which means a walk before all meal times. Put the food down after the dog is in a sit and is quiet - then put the food down - so not let the dog eat until you have given the command to do so.
No more in the furniture or pets just because - everything must be earned.
Keep the dog on a schedule - feed at the same time - go to the bathroom after feeding/drinking water - and every 1-2 hours after that.
I would remove the water from the crate and make sure that the crate is small enough. Only large enough to lay down and turn around.
SCOLDING AND SPANKING WILL MAKE IT WORSE!
Read this and make sure you are using the crate properly

Eliminate the paper all collectively. I don't recommend the paper training, or the pee pads. You don't want to coach him it is ok to pee inside of, then exchange your intellect and say handiest external. It's complicated. He's handiest 7 weeks, so simply taking him external every half-hour to 1hour and 20 minutes after he eats or drinks. Whilst you can not watch him preserve him in a crate he will not go where he sleeps. Consistancy is essential, simplest enable him to pee outside. When he goes external, give treats, inform him he is a excellent boy.

Has he been checked out by your vet to make sure he doesn't have a medical issue that is causing this?
If there is no medical reason, then you need to look at your schedules, any changes in environment, and your methods.
Hitting is never the answer.

That is what is happening with my puppy. I am going insane. I was told to put him in a crate to train him, but he keeps peeing in there and making a huge mess.
