Train a dog to poop in one spot!

[adamjohn]

Hi all! Been awhile....

Oakley has been doing really well! As he is aging, he has mellowed and is even getting along(sorta) with my little niece and nephews! And is doing fantastic health wise... Ppl still think he is a puppy despite being 11!


Anyways...we are moving into our very first house soon! And Oakley is going to have a huuuge yard to run around in! I'm wondering if there is a way to get him to poop in one spot? He has never had to do this, so didn't know if there was a smell or some good training method to do?
Thanks!

He will only poop in the same place everyday (they sense the smell and they never spoil other places )

Find that special place where you want him to go and the rest is about potty training. I have not heard of any special training for this but I have heard people say they train them (older dogs) as they would puppies. It is a bit hard but it can be done.
