I agree with Kate. This forum is full of help for just such a problem. I also want to add that dog training isn't something miraculous, it's something that people do every day. To house train your dog, you need to be consistent with FOX. Make sure to take him outside before you think he'll need to potty. Praise him for pottying outside. But, if you yell at him when he goes inside, all you'll do is make him scared to go to the bathroom in front of you, even outside, he'll think you don't want him to potty at all. He doesn't rationalize like we do. So when you catch him going inside you say "OUTSIDE" firmly but not angrily. Pick him up, or lead him outside, again without frustration. And then when he finishes or goes outside tell him what a good boy he is. If you find potty after the fact, and you feel you need to scold, scold yourself as it's your fault you weren't paying attention to FOX... it's your job to keep him from going potty inside.
It's that simple!
