Train your dog to go Potty Outside

While potty training dogs, each time they need to eliminate (click here to read when dogs need to eliminate), take them outside to the area where you want them to eliminate. You may need to carry need to carry your dog or puppy there if the distance is too far for your dog or puppy to hold it.  

Take your dog to the exact spot you want him to eliminate. If you just take your dog outside, your dog may think the entire outside is his toilet. When your dog is at his toilet spot, you should wait quietly. Don't act happy or playful with your dog while potty training him at the right spot or your dog will think it's playtime and would not eliminate. Also, don't act annoyed or unhappy or your dog will not want to eliminate in front of you. In which case, your dog will eliminate while you are not looking wherever that may be. Keep an eye on your dog until he has finished to make sure your dog does not hold it until he gets back inside your house to make a mess.

Keep the path to your dog's toilet spot simple. You want your dog to remember how to get to that spot easily and avoid any distractions during potty training.
