If you are strickly speaking about method, I have to agree that you are going about it all wrong. But that's not your fault, altogther. Reading up on the new methods of housebreaking a dog is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. And once you read, pick a method and follow it to a "T", no matter how inconvenient it is for you. Because it will work, but not if you go about it 1/2 a**ed. And it will be inconvenient and it will be burdomsome, but it will be worth the effort for a long rewarding relationship with your new family member.
Here are a couple of sites to help you along:

Don't get discouraged. Just start over like nothing has happened from this point forward and go from there. Just like a newborn, a puppy is more work in the begining with very little payback. The payback comes later, when you have a fully housebroken pet and you can learn to enjoy him for who he is, and not hate him for what he does!
