Oh I know how you feel. Belle was tough to potty train, too. We tried everything, and finally we bought some bitter apple spray. When your puppy goes inside, bring him over there, stick his nose in it and say no, then give him a squirt or 2 of the spray in his mouth and bring him outside. We did that, and after a couple times, she was house broken. They really don't like the taste, and it also helps with barking. So far, we only had to use it about 4 times on her. Don't worry about being obsessive over toys, Belle's like that too She constantly wants to play Hope that this helps!!
