I used a professional trainer to teach Sophie Kate the command, I only observed but what she would do is start saying the command when Sophie Kate would start sniffing like she was looking for a spot.
Once she went she would get a lot of "good girls" and a high value treat (in our case it was a Cheerio). Now 5 years later I still issue the command and she gets a ton of praise every time just to reinforce it.
