Puppies love to follow older dogs around and copy them. It will rapidly get the idea that this is our den (the house) and we go outside to pee.

Betty Boop (Boopers) is only ten weeks old so I realize it takes time investment and patience. She was a very good girl this morning and understood very quickly what was expected of her when we got outside.
So she got lots of love and treats.
Yes yes to the "house as one big kennel or den for humans" concept.
