method disagreements

i have a 10 week old lab. this is my first time raising a puppy. my husband has had a lot of puppies. i believe im doing pretty good cause ive done a lot of research, and our puppy is just really well behaved and a super good boy. we're still working on potty training. ive been doing a lot of positive reinforcement with treats, try to take him out at least every 30 minutes or after nap, play, food or water. i dont discipline when he pottys inside, i just grab him and bring him outside saying "oh no baby boy, we potty outside!" then put him on the ground in his potty spot, and prompt him with "go potty!" immediately followed by a reward if he goes.

well, obviously, he's only 10 weeks old, so he still has accidents pretty often. my husband is telling me that my method sucks because all his puppies were potty trained by this age. he says youre supposed to rub his nose in the pee, swat his nose, tell him no, and put him outside. ive already told him ive read that this is a bad method, explained why, but he claims he knows more about raising puppies and the internet is wrong, because our puppy still isn't housebroken with this method

so im asking you guys, at what age were your puppies when they completed potty training?

my dog had a litter and we're keeping this sweet boy! we're really struggling to pick a name, we just cant agree on what fits. we're looking for something uncommon, i dont want to know or have known of any other dogs with the same name. we want something that sounds "cool". these are some of the names we've considered so you know the vibe we're going for: baxter, sully, axel, dax, denali, diesel. thank you!
