Using keywords and having a different routine for each thing are great ideas!
As DBlain wrote, if different exit doors aren't an option, find some other way to vary the two activities -- potty outings vs walks/play outing -- and send the signal to your dog.
BTW, I like the tethering indoors while potty training. It's no different than limiting freedom with baby gates and whatnot to ensure close supervision until fully trained.
