Choose a command such as, “go pee”. Make sure your dog has access to lots of water so he has urine to pass. A dry dog is pretty hard to train to pee on command!

Take your dog to go pee, on a leash, to a concrete area like a sidewalk or road, or a designated potty area prepared with cement surface.

Provide the 'go pee' command and wait for your dog to pee. This may take quite a while. Ignore your dog while you wait. When he does pee, repeat the verbal command to reinforce the association, especially if a significant time period has lapsed since the original command. When he has finished, say “yes”, and give him a treat. If he does not pee, take him back inside.

Repeat the process daily for several days. The time between giving the initial command and your dog peeing should decrease. When the behavior is well-established you can try taking your dog off leash. Call your off leash dog to a cement area, or to his cement bathroom area and give the 'go pee' command.

Once your dog is peeing on command you can use the command when on walks. Give the command on the sidewalk or in an alleyway, not in the park or a neighbor's lawn.

Create a designated cement bathroom area for your dog in your yard. You can use cement blocks or poured cement. You can use a barrier of some sort, such as garden fence, plant pots, or portable fencing to create a barrier, that helps designate the spot, to help your dog distinguish it. If your dog already tends to use an area of your yard and it is convenient, make that area your designated bathroom area, this will contribute to training success.

When you let your dog out to pee, do not let him run around on your lawn, instead take your dog to his designated cement area on a leash, or carry him.

Wait in the area, either on leash to keep the dog in the cement bathroom area or if off leash, if the dog leaves the area before going pee, redirect him by calling him back or making a loud noise such as clapping to redirect him back to his bathroom area.

When your dog pees in his area, reward him with attention and a treat, take him to the grassy area to play or have free time. Supervise at first if your dog looks like he is going to relieve himself again in the grass. Immediately go take him back to his cement bathroom area.

Gradually give your dog more space and off-leash training in his cement bathroom area, continue to supervise and redirect him as necessary. If your dog has an “accident” and pees on the grass, take your dog inside, playtime is over. Do not punish him any other way. He will come to learn that play on the grass is a reward for using his bathroom and not peeing on the grass and that peeing on the grass means no playtime. Rinse cement off regularly so the area does not become soiled.

Create a designated bathroom area with cement blocks or using an area of a cement patio. This will be used to teach your dog to pee on cement only.

Contain your dog in his cement area in the yard with fencing or on leash until he goes pee. Do not give access to grassy areas. When your dog pees on the cement, reward him and give access to your lawn. If the dog pees on the lawn, take him inside immediately.

Start taking your dog out on a leash in the neighborhood. Give a command to pee if you have taught your dog to pee on command on cement surfaces, or keep your dog on cement until your dog goes pee on the cement. Reward for peeing on cement.

Give your dog access to grass after peeing on cement. If your dog pees on the grass, end the walk.

Eventually your dog will learn to associate peeing with cement surfaces and reward and avoid peeing on grass or lawn, as this ends walks or outside time. You will need to ensure that your dog has access to cement surfaces in order to relieve himself regularly. It is unfair to restrict his urinating behavior and then not provide him with the opportunity to relieve himself.
