And he's fast and I think he thinks he's big b/c he jumps off the arm of the couch and I'm freaking out, but it doesn't even phase him.
Also I take him out constantly and it never fails he will sneak onto the carpet and pee!!  But never on the tile!
Is there anything else I can do to speed up the potty training process? I keep a constant eye on him and tell him no when I see that he pees, I just stress because it's like no matter what I'm doing (cooking, watching tv, laundry) I'm also trying to keep an eye on him!

One thing is not to let him run free when you can't be right on top of him. Put him on a harness and leash and keep him at your side. When he begins to fuss or act like he needs to potty you will hopefully catch him just in the nick of time. There is lots of advise here about new puppies, just use the search feature. Anything else in particular that you have questions about? My little Holly (now 5 mo., I got her at 12 weeks) is an acrobat, jumps off of and climbs out of/onto ANYTHING. I quit stressing, life is too short!
