It's been a long time since I trained a pup, but what we did was spread out some newspaper in several strategic places around the house, and when the pup started whizzing somewhere we'd scoop it up and put it on the nearest newspaper. After it finished its business we'd pet it and call it a good dog. It soon got the message and started whizzing/dumping on the newspaper. We then started eliminating the newspaper, leaving only some at the back door. At that point we started interrupting it when it did is biz on the paper and put it outside, congratulating it when it came back in for being a good dog. Overall, it seemed to work pretty well.
