We adopted a 5 mos old terrier mix. Prior to us adopting him he was in a foster. The foster had a doggie door so he had access to the yard at all times. He does really well with letting us know when he has to go potty and we walk him often. He doesn’t really have accidents in the house.<br><br>I assume because he always had the doggie door that he likes going in the yard. He has picked a spot in my yard and goes even on leash but I don’t want him going in the yard where my kids play.<br><br>HOWEVER, when I walk him he will let me take him for long walks but will not go potty the entire time. He will hold it until we get back and pull me to the yard. If I don’t let him go in the yard he will hold it until we get in and go in one spot in my basement.<br><br>Any idea how I can break him of that so that he goes potty outside while we are walking rather than my yard. I have always leash trained my dogs and never had one that was yard trained first so I want to make sure I don't confuse him or reverse the training he has already had.
