Simply by giving a treat every single time he goes in. Even when he's "bad" he gets the treat for going in. Same way we still give a treat every time Reggie (our 10 year old) potties when and where he's supposed to. They both come "tell" us when they've pottied on their pad in order to get their treat. If you give good treats, they'll do practically anything for a treat.
