This is a VERY young puppy! Would you yell at a baby for peeing itself?

That's bad advice you are getting. Don't yell at a dog or make a big deal out of bad potty habbits. When there's an accident, ignore the pup's attention and clean it up. Don't ignore the pup per se, but don't reward this behavior with attention either. Just clean it up, and go play with the dog. Your pup isn't trying to vex you when it goes to the bathroom. It's a dog, not a human being, and it understands the world a little differently than you do. Why does your dog know what the pads are for?

You have to train your dog to go on the pad. This requires time and attention and patience. I suggest you read through the many, many, many posts on this site on the same subject. You may also consider getting some books on raising a puppy as there is a lot you should know.

I suggest "Puppies for Dummies", which helped me GREATLY in potty training my pup.
