Well each dog is different. The way we trained Chip was, he was crated at night and any time we were gone or couldn't watch him 100%. We watched him for signs that he was about to go potty. As soon as we took him out of his crate, we put him on a pee pad and he wasn't allowed to go until he went. If we caught him going somewhere off the pad, we told him "NO" firmly and put him on the pee pad and said "This is where you POTTY" emphasizing the "potty" as you want them to learn the command. When he did what he was supposed to he got LOTS of praise, play time, and treats. If he didn't, he went in his crate for about 15 minutes and then we tried again. This same method can be used for outside training too.
