Obedience & behavior

Question
I have a toy fox terrier puppy.  He is 3mo and a weekk old.  I understand that he is still so young to completely get the potty training down.  We are trying the Kennel training but he has shown no signs of improvement as we have had him now for about 5 weeks.  He also since we have had him will urinate on pillows and even his bed i n his kennel.  Why does he do this?  Also, is it in his character to always back away from me when I try and pick him up? I always seem to be chasing him too, he isn't very good at coming when called?  Is he just still to young or is this the fox terriers character?  Will he grow out of this?  Is this normal?  It is so frustrating to me.  I have thought about training classes but with my 40hr a week work schedule and cost of classes I don't know I will be able to do these classes but just work with him myself.  I don't want a dog that  has a forever bad bathroom habbit nor one that runs away from me.  What advice can you give me.  Please tell me this behavior he is giving is normal for his age and that he will get better.  he is making me regret getting him and I did study up on his breed and found they are very smart...did I get a dummy dog?

HI KARI
U DID NOT SAY IF U HAVE A WIRE HAIRED OR SMOOTH, DOES NOT TRULY MATTER THE TERRIER GROUPS REQUIRE ALOT OF ATTENTION AND EXERCISE FOR THEY ARE MOST HIPER AS MY BOSTONS WERE.
I FOUND A COUPLE SITES FOR U TO READ ABOUT THE BREED U OWN AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHY THE DOG WOULD PEE ON A PILLOW, BUT SOME OF MY BOSTONS WOULD RIDE A PILLOW, LEG OF A PERSON MOST IGNORANT AS HE; SHE WAS THEY DID THEIR THING EACH ONE DIFFERENT.
THEY ARE HARDER TO TRAIN THAN MOST BREEDS ALSO.  IF I WERE U WITH THIS DOG I WOULD GET A WATER SPRAY BOTTLE ADD A TAD BIT OF VINEGAR AND SPRAY HIS FACE WHEN HE MISBEHAVES AND LOUDLY FIRMLY SAY NO MORE, HEAR ME NO MORE.!  LET HIM KNOW YOU HAVE BECOME HIS BOSS AND LEADER AND HE IS GOING TO LISTEN NOW AND DO RIGHT FROM WRONG AS U WILL TEACH HIM AND TAKE HIM ON DAILY WALKS OR RUNS IN A FIELD TO TIRE HIM SO HE DOES NOT BECOME SO NAUGHTY.  NOW READ UP ON WHAT U HAVE THEIR.

I HOPE U FIND OUT THAT THE LITTLE BRATS ARE HARD TO TRAIN AND TAKE ALOT OF PATIENCE AND LOVE.  THEY DO THINGS TO TORMENT THE OWNER THEY LEARN TO LOVE.  WORK, PATIENCE AND EXERCIE. LIFT WATER AT SIX P.M. FEED AT 4 P.M.  TAKE OUT LATE AS POSSIBLE LIKE 11 NEWS. CRATE FOR THE NIGHT AND SLEEP TIGHT.  BURN A NIGHT LITE FOR HIM/HER AND PLAY A RADIO OF MUSIC LIGHTLY AND GIVE IT A TOY FOR THE NIGHT, WHEN GONE FROM THE HOME DO THE SAME AS NIGHT CRATING.
GAIT OFF ONE ROOM PERFER THE KITCHEN AND PLACE PAPERS AT THE DOOR U ALWAYS EXIT TO THE SAME SPOT TO PEE AND IF A MISTAKE IS MADE THE PAPERS ARE THERE FOR PICKUP, IT DOES NOT NEED TO RUN THE HOUSE TILL IT LEARNS THE WORD NO NO.
