How to train a dog to potty in the backyard instead of the front?

Question

We have a four month old beagle. Ever since we got her we would taker her to the front yard to do her business. She got so use to this that when we say "outside" she runs right to the front door. We recently had a fence installed in the back yard and we would like to transition her from doing her business in the front yard, to the back yard. She has gone done her business out back a few times, but she tends to hold it a lot longer out back than in the front. How do we perform this transition?

Begin by taking Luna out the front door, as always, but begin saying "outside front!" instead of just "outside." After a few days, put her on a leash when she has to go out and bring her to the back door, saying "outside back!" In a short time she will be able to differentiate between front and back and should go to the back door when told. If you need further help with this, just click on the prompt to initiate a consult.
