VeterinarianTarget times when the dog needs to relieve themself, such as after sleeping or first thing in the morning. Pop the dog onto the pee pad and, when they go, give lots of praise and a treat. Keep repeating this. Then add in a cue word as the dog squats, such as "Toilet," and reward the dog when they go. -

VeterinarianIt's a good idea to choose a toilet spot. Make it somewhere convenient and sheltered (out of wind and rain). Take the dog there when they are most likely to need to pee, such as first thing in the morning or after a sleep. When the dog relieves themself, give lots of praise and a treat to reward the dog. -

VeterinarianThis can be done but be patient, as it can take weeks or months. Use the same methods as for a puppy, such as staying with the dog all the time and, when they show signs of sniffing to toilet, pop them outside. Crate train the dog for those times when you have to go out. Be sure to get rid of odors where the dog has toileted indoors.
