My dogs driving me crazy

Question
I hope im not gettng on your nerves,but my dog certainly is getting on mine.
I tried to look for books you told me about by they arend available in Egypt and if i order them, it wont be till another 3 or 4 weeks which will be too late. My dog is driving me crazy. I cant get him to stop whinning and not only that, he barks too.When he plays with another dog or a toy or sometimes with us he sometimes just barks,even when i yell at him and barks back at me.Also The peeing issue,its suddendleny gotten worse for some reason, when he pee's on the carpet and i tell him no and take him where i want, he goes back a couple of minutes after and pees on the same carpet but in a different area and when i yell at me he looks at me and wags his tail and starts playing.i punish him and yell at him and when i put him in a room to punish him he just DOESNT stop the whinning and barking that eventually we get him out cuz of the severe noise.
Please advise cuz i really need the help.
Thanx alot,
Heidi  

Answer
Here are some calming exercises that may help when he barks and whines.  Skip any he is too big for you to do.  

''Elevation for small puppies:  Sit on the floor and gently put your hands around your pup's middle, below his front legs, and lift him up.  He is facing you.  Hold him for 15 seconds.  Repeat until he no longer struggles.  If he is past 10-12 weeks, lift his front feet off the ground, but don't pick him up.  

Cradling for small puppies:  Hold your puppy gently on his back, as you would cradle a small baby.  If he struggles, hold him firmly until he quiets for 10-15 seconds.  With larger pups, you can do this as your sit on the floor, with your pup between your legs.

Quiet lying down:  Place your pup on the floor on his side, with all 4 legs pointing away from you.  Use your hands on his neck/shoulder area and middle, to hold him in this position.  When he is quiet, praise him.  Lengthen the time that you keep him quietly in this position.  When he accepts this position well, handle his paws and muzzle, while keeping him quiet.''

The quotes mean this isn't my original work.  It is copied from my Puppy Raising Manual.  I have long used these or minor variations of them, and they are very effective.  You may want to give him a belly rub while he is on his back too.  Helps bonding.  There is a big difference between him rolling over and demanding a belly rub, and you choosing a time to roll him over and rub his belly.  The latter cements your place as pack leader.  

Some puppies are just much more difficult than others.  Keep working with him.  Never let up on the idea you are top dog.
