I am new here, looking for some experienced advise. 
We just adopted a 4yr old dachshund, Oliver. In his previous home he was paper trained in an apartment. We want him to go outside only. I am home all day, we are working hard to teach this and I have the time to do so. But he frequently goes on the floor anyway.
Some other information that may be helpful. I am not new to this, we already have a doxie in our home. Lola is 2yrs, she is perfectly bell trained to let us know she needs to go. we have had her since a puppy.
So I am ringing the bells for Oliver and cheerily giving him my directions "go potty," and "good potty" for when he is going outside. But everything around him is new, so I don't know if he is paying attention to the bells or not.
I think I need to crate train and treat him like a new puppy to potty train him, but I'm not sure. I'm a confused doggy mommy.
