Congrats on the new pup! How exciting!
I know how frustrating it is when they keep going in the house.. When we had Mia and then Treo, they both peed several times within the first few days. Mia peed twice on our bedand several times in other various places. Then Treo peed once on the bed.. and also several other places. She did it in the middle of the night as well, even though she was restrained to one little 2.5x2.5 area, including a dog bed.
I agree with BeeniesMom, tethering and going outside more frequently works. And definitely praising as well. Stay outside until he'll go.
When Treo peed in the house, we'd bring her back to the spot, say a firm No or two, roll her over and then take her outside. I only caught her in the act once... I screamed to get her attention, in hopes that she'd stop, and rushed her outside. It only took a week or so before she quit going in the house. We were letting her out in the middle of the night there for a while, but now she can hold it from 930 or so until 715ish in the morning. It takes time, but they all figure it out eventually! =)
