Take your pet to the area on a leash. While he eliminates, praise him profusely. You must be there to help focus his attention and to praise within seconds of elimination. Stick to a schedule for feeding and walking so your pet can anticipate being taken out. Confine your pet to a small area, such as a dog crate or part of a tiled room when you can not watch it.
Dogs naturally avoid soiling their den or bed area.
Close confinement helps to motivate your pet to wait to be taken outside and prevents damage to your home. If you must confine your pet longer than it can wait to eliminate, give it ex tra space to eliminate away from its bed. When your pet soils inside, clean the area with vinegar or an odor eliminator. Do not use ammonia. On carpets, soak up as much urine as possible with towels, then soak the carpet and padding with odor eliminator.
