| Well, a crate would definately solve your problem. To get your dog to go to the door to potty isn't very hard, but it takes alot of work on your part. Take your dog out every 1/2 hour regardless of wether he/she has to go potty. Say "go potty". When he goes, give lots of praise. Sometimes you might have to go outside and play the waiting game. Make sure you take hime out on a leash. After a few weeks of this, he should go to the door everytime he has to go. Make sure he goes potty before you put him in the bathroom also. It really seems like a hassle to take the dog out every 1/2 hour, but it beats cleaning up after them every day! Remember, this every 1/2 hour is only temporary and it should work fairly quick.
