This is what you do if you want him to go outside. By the time you catch him in the act indoors it is too late. So figure out his schedule for the times he is most likely to go. So when he wakes up, after he eats, after a nap etc.
These are the highest percentage training opportunities so take him outside and if he doesn't go take him back inside and put him right in his crate. Do not let him have a chance to have an accident. After 15 minutes or so in the crate, take him back outside and try again. Eventually he will go and when he does reward him with a high value treat. After a few successes he will start understanding why he's out there.
I would keep him on a leash outside so he doesn't just think outside is play time. |
