Maybe he is trained for inside? I would get a couple potty pad holders, some potty pads and the spray that you spray with the pheromones that smell of urine to him. Once you put the pad in the holder, take them outside and spray them with the spray, then bring them back inside and put them where you want him to go, then show him where they are to see if he shows interest, and try a command like "potty on the pad". This has been working awesome for gizmo. I also got the big squirt potty pad holder, as it has 9" high sides on three sides. This works great if he lifts his leg to pee.
Welcome and I hope this will be helpful :-) another trick I use, is get a treat, let him smell it, then tap the pad and use the command, then put the treat up out of his reach near the pad. When I do this with Gizmo, he goes potty right away because he totally understands that if he does as I ask, he gets the treat. If he does go, give him the treat and a ton of praise every time. Hopefully he will eventually get it.
If you want to train him to go outside, use the method above and just keep moving the pad closer and closer to the door, then start trying outside with the same command and treat. |
