Expert Answer

To train a dog to relieve itself in the right place, take it outside or to a designated spot at fixed times such as after meals, after waking, and before bed. Praise and reward it immediately when it goes in the right spot.

Use consistent commands and a regular schedule, and clean accidents thoroughly with an enzymatic cleaner to remove scent marks. Patience and consistency are key, and puppies may need several weeks to learn.
