I taught my dog to do this from the day we brought her home as a puppy.

Everytime I took her outside to go, she was on a leash and I would say "let's go to your spot". Then I would tell her to go pee and have a big party when she did. We got her at the end of September and I know I took her out on leash that first winter. Eventually I stopped leashing her, but I still take her to the spot only because I want to clean it up after her. I like a clean area. My husband just tells her to go and she does.

Now when she is out playing in the backyard she will run to her spot to go. I think they like to go in the same place as well.

I think I would do the same thing for an adult dog. Hope this works for you.
