I also agree with the crate training, but you have to make sure it is not too big so that the dog can go in it(pee) and have room enough not to lay in it! We had two crates for our beagle, and if you ask him "Do you want to go for a run or go in your box?" he runs to the box! He is very lazy!
Also, our vet said to take away the water dish around 6-7 pm, and by the time you go to bed, the dog should be able to make it thru the night at around 10 weeks. It worked!
My final bit of advice comes from raising boys and dogs both--give them the rules asap and be consistent.
Good Luck and have fun with your new pal!
