Training your dog to go potty outside can feel like a challenge, but with a little consistency and patience, it becomes second nature for both of you. Start by setting a schedule—taking your dog out at the same times each day, like after meals, naps, or playtime. Dogs thrive on routines, and this predictability helps them understand when it's time to go.
Pick a specific spot for potty breaks. Dogs are drawn to familiar scents, so using the same area will encourage them to do their business there. When your dog goes potty outside, offer praise, treats, or both right away. Positive reinforcement makes a big difference and helps them connect the dots. Keep an eye out for signs like sniffing or circling; these are your cues to head outside quickly and avoid any indoor accidents.
