1. Establish a consistent potty schedule. Take your dog outside to potty at regular intervals throughout the day, such as first thing in the morning, after meals, and before bedtime. This will help him learn when he's supposed to go outside.
2. Choose a designated potty spot outside. Take your dog to the same spot each time you go outside with him. This will help him associate that spot with going potty.
3. Reward your dog when he goes potty outside. Give him treats, praise, or petting when he goes potty outside. This will help him understand that going potty outside is a good thing.
4. Confine your dog to a small area when you're not home. This will help you control where he goes potty. If possible, confine him to an area that has easy access to the outdoors, such as a doggy door or a patio.
5. Clean up accidents thoroughly. If your dog has an accident inside, clean it up thoroughly with an enzymatic cleaner. This will help remove the scent of urine, which could otherwise attract your dog to pee in the same spot again.
6. Deter your dog from peeing in inappropriate places. There are a number of products available that can deter dogs from peeing in certain areas. These products typically contain ingredients that dogs find unpleasant, such as pepper or citrus.
7. Train your dog to sit or lie down before he goes potty. This will help him learn to control his bladder. To do this, start by giving him a treat every time he sits or lies down. Once he's consistently doing this, start asking him to sit or lie down before you go outside to potty.
8. Be patient. It may take time for your dog to learn to stop peeing in the house. Be patient and consistent with your training, and eventually he'll get it.
Here are some additional tips that may be helpful:
* If your dog is peeing on furniture, try covering the furniture with plastic wrap or a sheet to make it less appealing.
* If your dog is peeing on the carpet, try using a carpet cleaner that contains an enzymatic cleaner.
* If you're having trouble training your dog, consider hiring a professional dog trainer.
