- Sick to a nearby safe, open space where he can do potty. Try to associate it with some name so that it gets easier for him to understand. In case if you have no such place then carry a plastic bag to pick it up. Carrying a dog litter tray is also a good option.
- A cozy and safe crate is highly suggested– never put him into a crate while punishing him rather makes it a comfortable place where he prefers to spend more time.
- Pay attention to your dog’s activity– your dog signals in several ways to indicate that he wants to pee or do potty by circulating at a place, sniffing at the floor, putting his tail in a strange position, or showing you the outside way. Try to decipher these signals to understand him more!
- Note down his habits as it helps in scheduling his toilet and other habits later.

- Do not let any mess remain- in case if your dog had accidentally peed somewhere, clean it immediately with a cleaner that has no ammonia. The smell of ammonia and urine is the same and your dog may take it as urine and continue doing it indoors. Do not punish your dog for such accidents.
Remember to praise your dog every time he starts coming into a schedule. Do not shout at him if he does any mistake or punishes him rather clap or make a disturbing loud noise so that he understands that he has done something wrong.
