Create a daily schedule for feeding, potty breaks, and walks. Dogs thrive on a routine and having a predictable schedule will help them understand when it’s time to go outside.

#3: Frequent potty breaks
Take your dog outside for potty breaks frequently, especially after meals, playtime, waking up, or any other activities that may trigger the need to urinate.
#4: Reward outdoor elimination
Praise and reward your dog with treats or verbal praise immediately after they pee or poop outdoors. Positive reinforcement will also help your dogs to train to have the desired behavior.
#5: Clean accidents thoroughly
Use an enzymatic cleaner to clean pees thoroughly and remove any lingering odor. This will help prevent your dog from being attracted to pee in the same spot again.
#6: Identify Triggers
Pay attention to any patterns or triggers that might lead to indoor accidents, it could be anxiety, excitement, or a specific situation. Once identified, you can work on managing or avoiding those triggers.
#7: Consistency is key
Stay patient and consistent with your training and avoid punishing your dog for accidents as it can create fear or confusion. Instead, focus on rewarding their positive behavior.
