How to teach an adult dog to pee in one indoor spot using a crate?

Question

It was recently suggested to me that, in order to train them to pee in a specific place inside the apartment (when I can't take them outside), I have to kennel train my dog. I've only ever seen articles on kennel training to stop them from peeing inside. How can I use kennel training to teach my adult dog how and where to pee inside?

You are right in that crate training is usually used for teaching a dog how to hold it better when potty training. If you're looking to get Siao-lyn used to an indoor potty area, I would simply take her to the area as you would take her outside, so that she learns to go there. However, there may be some confusion over this if you are taking her both outside to potty, and inside. Instead, it would be better to try and take her outside more often so she doesn't need to hold it so long inside. Once she is older, she will be bale to hold it longer over time, and wouldn't need the indoor potty unless you plan to have her go there exclusively, anyway.
