I've had my Pit Bull puppy for 3-4 months. He is now 6 months old and I have been working on the potty training, but he still pees in the house every day. And every night he will poop inside at least 2 times a week. How do I get him to stop going? He whines after he has used the bathroom. He gives no warning that he has to go, he just does it and then whines.

Make sure he is on a strict feeding and walking schedule. You may have to crate him. He will learn quickly enough that if he wants freedom in your home, he will have to do his business outside.
Awww...your pupster is still a baby and still learning. Like human kids, potty training can take a while and there are sometimes relapses. Have you established him with a vet? I suggest having him checked to make sure he is developing properly as pooping inside can sometimes can be related to a neuro development delay and you want to make sure he has a healthy start to his long life!
Crate training is a must...even though they cry and whine, it teaches them the discipine (after he has clean bill of health of course).
Training is all about consistency. Never yelling, offering treats when done right and lots of positive reinformcenent, loving on him and telling him in a happy voice that he has done good.
Yelling, rubbing their nose in it etc. NEVER works. It causes fear, so don't go there.
Post back how it goes. Bigger dogs do take less time to potty train. My one dachshund took 2 years, but she was the outlier in the process. Prayers for a quick learning and that you have a lovely life together!!
