Welcome to YT. I am sorry about the potty area being a dangerous walk away. I think you have the same problem my Mom has in her Senior Apt. She only has a front door, no back door, no patio etc. All my dogs were dual trained to use washable pee pads and the yard. But, sadly I was not able to teach Gracie (my rescue) to use potty pads. She wasn't really potty trained at all when I got her. She loved going outside so that is how I trained her. Maybe someone else has some good ideas.
