I didn't see one positive thing you did to encourage them to go outside. I didn't see one thing you did that actually teaches them that outside is the place to go. I didn't see one thing you did that shows them you are guiding them through life and are teaching them to live in the human world. All I saw were punishments, none of which told them anything. I strongly suspect the only thing you have taught them is not to potty in front of humans.
There must be 1,000 places on the internet that teaches people how to potty train puppies. Here are some tips.
1. Never let them out of your sight while they are inside. The INSTANT they start to potty inside interrupt them with a CALM voice, say, "no, no, not in here, lets go outside." At the same time pick them up and carry them outside to finish what they just started. When they do something outside, praise and treat them profusely.
2. If you didn't see them potty inside, you can do nothing. You missed a teaching opportunity. You must catch them in the act in order to teach them anything. Rub your own nose in it for missing the opportunity. It's not their fault if you missed it.
3. Anytime you can't watch them, put them in their crate. Their crate should be just large enough for them to turn around in and stretch out. They will not potty in a crate that is this size. They will sleep in the crate and will be crated when left home alone. All other times you should be watching them 100% of the time in order to teach them the proper place to potty.
4. Understand that in their eyes, pee and poop are not gross nasty things like humans think. Many dogs eat poop regularly. Other dogs will roll in poop of wild animals when they get the opportunity.
