    Right here! For an older dog: When you get up in the morning, take your dog out. Walk her/him till elimination occurs, then praise him/her, a lot. Give a treat. Walk your dog again midday, afternoon and at bed time. Always stay with the dog so when she/he goes you can give praise . At this age old you should know your dogs looking for a spot behavior. When you see that behavior, get him/her out. Any time elimination occurs outside, give praise. If you catch your dog in the act inside, say no and get him/her outside. If you find a puddle or pile after the fact put your dog in another room then clean the spot with an enzyme cleaner to get rid of the odor, not cover it up. The reason for putting him/her in another room is if your dog sees you cleaning up after her she/he will think that is your job. You must be diligent and consistent. Make sure you implement a feeding schedule, if your dog eats at the same times every day she/he will poop the same times every day. At night time or when you are gone, crate train.
    Here are three websites on how to crate train a puppy

    For a puppy:
    The first thing to remember about house training a puppy is there ability to hold themselves is limited. A rule of thumb is they can hold "it" usually 1 hour for each month of age. 2 months old = 2 hours, 3 months old = 3 hours, etc. When your puppy wakes up (morning, nap, whatever) the pup has to go, right then! Take the pup out. When the pup eats or drinks, it has to go, take the pup out. After exercise (play), take the pup out. When the pup does it's thing outside praise it. A lot. Tell the pup how good, how smart it is. You have to pay attention to the pups "looking for it's spot" behavior. When you see that behavior indoors, whisk the pup out. If you catch the pup in the act, simply tell it "NO!" and whisk it outside. If you find a puddle or pile after the fact, clean it up with an enzyme cleaner (pet food store) get a newspaper and hit.... yourself in the head and say "I should have been paying more attention." Daytime training they get pretty fast. Night time training is easier if you crate train the pup. Also remember the one hour/one month rule. You will have to get up through the night to take the pup out. Good luck
