My 11 month old dog occasionally pees inside when he as been for a long walk and when I take him to my parents. I have rubbed his nose in it, smacked him, told him off, and put him outside, but when he has done it he knows and runs off. It's starting to get me down now as I don't know what else to do with him as this is very frustrating as I have given him treats when he as gone outside.

Hello,
First of all, hitting him is animal abuse pure & simple. He is afraid of you. Stop hitting him and train him gently. If you can't do that please give him to a good home.
He runs off because he is afraid of being hurt. His brain is in no place to hear what you want from him in this state. Learn some training methods that are not abusive, and you may be able to get the behavior you want. If you are not willing to invest that time, and continue to rely on abusive and worthless corrections I recommend you find a new home for this dog before he has permanent behavioral problems.
