Default Need Ideas for Positive Reinforcement

Everytime Scooter potties outside, I try to reward him, but he's never really impressed. I've tried praise and petting, but as soon as he potties, he's ready to move on - he's tugging at the leash and not looking at me at all. I've tried treats and even though he loves them any other time, after he potties he's not interested or he shows luke-warm interest. The treats I've tried are cheese and Snausages. I'm thinking maybe it's a dominance issue. Maybe he's just not looking to me for approval because he doesn't think he needs it. It worries me that he has to spend so much time confined because he's not housebroken...at all. He's only four months old, but I'm not seeing any progress. What am I doing wrong or what can I do better?
