Jantheman, what method are you using to train your pup. Are you trying to train him to use the bathroom in the house or outside?
There are several methods, you have to pick one that matches your schedule and life style. Then stick with it.
I would suggest going to your local library, or bookstore and there should be several book titles that will be on the subject of house training your dog.
I would get one that was published in the last 5 years.
I would thumb through those and find the one that appeals to you and take it home and follow through exactly on the method you pick and give your pup a long time and lots of forgiveness to learn.
I will say that most books,( on house training for dogs) back in the '70s, chose to tell folks to train the puppies to paper. Now days most of the books will list several methods, but paper has fallen out of favor as most dogs, once trained to paper, have a hard time re-learning to go outside. I had a miniature poodle as a child and followed the paper method. He never learned to pee outside at night and always peed on the same spot the paper used to be on. He lived to be 16 years old. He was smart about everything else, but house training only worked for pooping outside and I belive our old dauchsund taught him that
Good luck
