Dogs who are adopted usually come from other homes and are previously trained. Most adult dogs will need to be re- house trained when fostered.
One of the problems in shelters is that dogs lose their routine, which causes problems for the next owner. It will take time for older dogs to reacclimatize living with another family. Just be patient to follow the advice we will state here as the new pet will start to adjust to the family, said Paws.
Set a routine for the dog to follow.
Teach the dog what he has to do from the first moment in the morning till sleeping time. Do this so he can follow a routine.
Select where the dog's spot is where the dog should do his relieving as part of the training in a new house. Do this every day, if it was done on the right spot. Leave something that has a scent to mark the spot.
Repeat a command like 'go there' so the dog will know what to do automatically in time.
Give the dog daily meals on a schedule to make going to the relieving place more regularly, without prompting.
Supervise your pet dog to make sure nothing happens like relieving elsewhere.
Never give the pet time to relieve by accident inside the house. Keep a watchful eye where the pet needs to go, especially indoors. Either get a long leash, baby gates or keep the canine nearby when at home. See if the canine is sniffing or circling a bit and take him out. Once done, show appreciation or reinforce the act with treat or treats.

Keeping the canine locked up when you're gone.
There are times that the owner leaves the canine, choose a space that is not big to cause the canine to relieve there.
Use a crate to train your pet while confined to a small space. But, a reward is needed when pooping is done correctly.
What to do if the pet relieves in the wrong place.
Don't get mad or raise the tone when talking to the canine. Just do these steps and follow what needs to be done. Remember never to get cross to the pet.
If you catch your dog in the act of relieving in the house, do something to interrupt him like making a startling noise (don't scare him). Immediately take him to his relieving spot, praise him, and give him a treat if he finishes eliminating there. If the canine does relieve at the wrong place, make a ruckus to startle the animal but never scare intentionally. If relief is done properly, praise the animal. Clean the area and get rid of the smell.
Why do canines soil the home.
If all the suggestions have been done, and the canine still does relieve in the house. Here are some ideas why they can do randomly:
One possible answer is there is a medical problem with an adult dog which needs to be checked by a vet,
Another is submissive urinating that causes bladders to lose control if excited of threatened. It happens adult and younger canines.
Other reasons are marking territory, when the dog is anxious, or experiences fears or phobias.
