[nagdu] Going Inside

[Nicole B. Torcolini at Home]

Except for a few rear occasions, Lexia does not go off leash. Not to mention 
that most of the areas that she does her business in are not enclosed. 
Rather than or at least in addition to negative feedback for going inside, 
you could try giving her treats when she went outside. Lexia has never had a 
problem with going inside, but she sometimes would take forever to do it, so 
I gave her a treat as an incentive to hurry up.
