@swansonite@twit.social in a broad sense of general training, had a dog trainer who emphasized consistency, patience, and repetition. Also frequent trips outside and positive reinforcement when successful. if you have a fenced yard, surprisingly simple to teach dog to “ring” a string of bells when wants to go out by nudging their head against it each time you go out with them. Good luck!

@Phoebe_C@mastodon.social @VoxOfGod@beige.party This is my fifth dog; fairly experienced with doing all the usual house training things. He's a little over a year old and was at the humane society for most of his life so far -- I doubt he ever had incentive to "hold it". I take him out and for walks quite frequently and he'll even go on command (very smart and otherwise well-behaved, especially for his age), but once he has any in the tank, he'll just go. Try to keep him in-view at all times, but easier said than done.
