Our most successful potty training tip is "catch him in the act" when he's pooping. Pick him up-aren't you glad he not a mastiff?-saying no and bring him out to where he's supposed to go.

The pennies in the jar worked for a while for us and I've found he became accustomed to the sound. Maybe we used it too much...BUT...you know the rest. We also use a spray bottle-on "stream"-to squirt water with a little lemon or apple cider vinegar near him, not in his face. Another Victoria Stilwell tip that has worked is the can of compressed air-again toward him, not on him. Johnny tends to get used to certain tools so we mix them up.
