bring them back inside and i put my dog in a play pen with garage flooring on the floor covered in wee wee pads.. with JUST WATER.. and i leave for work...

Right before you go to bed take out again..
than crate till the morning...
this is what worked for me.. ive learnd that all dogs have differnt potty rhythm.. learned the rhythm and you got it in the bag.. hope this was helpful...
