You can actually teach them to pee on command if you go directly from crate to outside and say " Hurry up" and then praise after they go.My buddy taught me that years ago.My dentist got a new pup last year and I told him about it,he followed the directions and called me back and said " Huh who would have thought" everyone he runs into is pretty impressed with the pee on command.It really makes it handy for traveling long distance,you can get em out of the truck,peed and back on the road again far quicker than sniffing for the perfect spot to mark.
