i trained mine by doing this. when he would shit or piss in the house i would make him watch me wipe it up and carry it and my dog outside in a certain area and put the paper towel on the ground a tell him that this is where he goes and when he did i would give a treat. it took about 3 days but worked great. you are not supposed to beat them just raise your voice. they say beating them confuses them and trust me mine was a confused bastard before i heard about this way. i hope it works for you good luck.
