   First off, hitting a dog is never a good form of punishment.

   it doesn’t avoid bad behavior, it just causes other behavioral issues.

   Negative reinforcement is known to have side effects sort of speak.

   your best bet would be to get positive reinforcement training, Petsmart has good trainers and reasonable prices.

   give him more playtime as destructive behavior could be cause by not being stimulated,

   try Human pee pads, the ones for humans are more absorbing and harder to tear. Its what I used on my puppy.

   Pee pads are a jumpstart to get them use to the out door smell (As they are laced with a pheramone that entices them to pee there, and has a grass smell.)

   once you can get them use to doing their business outside, you don’t need the pads for anything more than accidents.

   but if they smell the grass on the pads, they’ll think they are outside.

   So I switched to human pee pads and he didn’t have hardly any accidents.

   Also, keep outside play time and potty time separate.

   he’ll be trained faster if you let him know potty time is potty time.

   My opinion on pee padsnot worth it you are doubling your training work and praise him he goes outside and praise him in the bat to do.
   For the act of going potty also recommend crate training work with such large space if you dont catch.
   For the act of going potty also recommend crate training rather than leaving him by making startling noise then take him if you are doubling your training work and confusing the dog.
