I don't think that you are supposed to rub his nose in it.it sends the signal that going potty (in general) is wrong.
You need to take him out, or put him on his puppy pad, every hour or so. If he does go, reward him with a small treat. If you take him outside, use the leash and lead him to where you want him to go. They sell stuff in the pet store that smells like pee to attract him to where to go. I had a hard time with Desi.he would stay outside for 20 minutes before he would go off the patio and potty in the yard. It took a lot of patience.but very important to praise each time he does it right and reward him with a tiny treat.
