Puppy potty training problem!!?… Help!?

My 4 month old Jack Russell/Beagle mix has been hell to potty train,
He is constantly having accidents and at this point its incredibly ridiculous…
He gets taken outside numerous times a day and won’t use the bathroom outside, within 5 minutes of coming back inside he’ll piss on the carpet…
We have tried & continued to try puppy pads inside not for a permanant, bit just in case of accidents and he sees them as toys and something to rip up…
Our 7 week old JRT has been doing very good with his potty training, he goes everytime he’s outside… I assumed that the puppy getting rewarded for using the bathroom outside even using the puppy pads would encourage our 4 month old to do the same, but that seems to not be the case…
We could probably take him out more, but when he’s outside he thinks it’s play time… and I think he’s come to think that my carpet is his toilet…
We live on the 2nd floor so we can’t just toss him out the door when he sniffs around, we have to chase him around to get his leash on him and he thinks its a game….
Also, more than half the time he gives no signs of having to go… he’ll be sitting around on second and the next you’ll hear the sound of urine seeping into my carpet… Its disgusting…
I have had enough and Its getting extremely frustrating…
We are expecting a baby in August and I would love love love for him to be potty trained by the time the baby comes, so I don’t hafta worry aobut constantly scrubbing my carpet and my home can be clean once again….

Any advice/ help would be greatly appreciated…
Thank You very much!!!!
lizzy: i would never get rid of or hurt my lil babe… that was kind of f*cked answer…
i just want him to not think my carpet is his personal bathroom

Puppy potty training question?

Well I am getting a puppy pretty soon and I was wondering since I will be at school all day what is the best way to potty train her? I read up on all that potty training stuff but since I will be gone most of the day should I put a puppy pad in her kennel/playpen? Also if she sleeps wiht me at night then will that interfear with her learning to potty outside? I really don’t know because when we got my other dog he was already trained. Can you help me with tips on potty training her as fast as possible since I will be gone all day at school? Thanks.

How to advise puppy owners on potty training when they won't accept crate training or if …?

…or if they use the crate incorrectly? What are the alternatives to house training if crate training won’t be used? How do you advise an owner if they’re using the crate incorrectly (in isolation of basement, puppy "jailed" for 8 hours without a break, accepting that the crate is a place for potty time, etc)? BTW, do you think that the examples I gave are boarder line abusive?
Goldengal, I agree with everything, except the bathroom idea. I was going to use that idea until my vet warned me of puppies/young adult dogs getting wedged and stuck around the toilet. Also, my Golden loved to unwind our toilet paper, LOL!
I’m not a breeder, vet or trainer. I am just interested in your answers because I have a family member who brought a 6 wk old pup in their home. They didn’t do any research, and now they’re using a crate for 8 PLUS hours and they’re hitting the poor pup for eliminating in the house. Apparently, they "try" to get the puppy out to potty in the morning before they go to work. HOW ON EARTH DO YOU TRY?? YOU EITHER DO IT OR YOU DON’T! For crying out loud! This is abuse, isn’t it. They won’t listen to me or my Sister in law. How frustrating!
