[NAGDU] Relieving on route

I wrote a few weeks ago about getting Krokus to relieve himself in a safe
place, if he must relieve himself on route.

My last dog also needed to relieve on route, but he could go until we
reached a particular spot.  This is better than what I've got now, which is
that Krokus stops when he feels the urge, then I have to shoo him along
until we come to a safe place.

Right now, he slams on the brakes when he feels the need to stop, and I give
him a sharp correction.  Then he keeps slowing down at various places he
thinks could be good, and I keep hopping him up until we get to a place of
my choosing.  

Ideally, I want him to go before we set out, which sometimes happens, and
sometimes not.  If he does go right away, he gets lots of praise. 

Next best, I'd like to eliminate all the stopping.  If he must stop, I'd
like him to stop once at a place I've chosen.

Is there some easier way to get to my goal, without all the correcting and
shooing?
