I'm not even going to mention the spanking (yet) but here's one things I noticed in your post, Rae Rae. you said to "shove their nose right up to it." that is absolutly NOT what you are supposed to do. that makes them ashamed to go potty at all. shoving their noses in it makes them think, "I'm not supposed to go potty it's bad."
when you catch your dog going potty in the house, you don't hit them, don't scream, don't flip out. just pick them up (if theyre small) say NO in a very firm voice (not yelling) and take them to the proper place where they are supposed to go. positive re-inforcement works better than flipping out every time your dog has an accident.
