all of mine know the tern: go potty... I can say it at anytime and they know it means to go to the doggie door... I dont think it matters what term you use as long as you use the same one everyytime... I praise them everytime, just with a "good girl-potty outside"... they also know that saying OUTSIDE means they go for a walk and run for the leash bag... it is really cute, but really consistency is the key, always use the same word for the same thing... they also know "time to go to bed" and many others.....
good luck!
P.S. My tootie is 2 years old and REFUSES to poopie outside.... he will come inside from playing out, to go "in his corner" on a pee pad... it is terrible but kinda funny...
