My 1 year old Boxer needs help potty training?

Hi! My Boxer can pee on walks, but prefers to go poop only in my paved yard. Its better than going in the house, but how do I turn her on to going outside? The patio has her fecal-smell, so should i buy a pet urine cleaner to take that away? Any help is appreciated. Please comment with any questions. Your help is VERY appreciated. Thanks!

    It's the owner that needs to learn how to train the dog, so sending it away to be trained means it will work for the trainer, but when it gets home the owner will probably do everything wrong and the dog will not respond correctly. Learn how to train your dog obedience https://tr.im/BjuMD

    Part of the fun in having a well trained dog is learning to train it correctly yourself. That is also the most rewarding. Some people send dogs away for specialist training, like sheep herding, protection work or gundog training, but even then, that is the lazy way out and good trainers do their own training to get what they want from their own dogs.

    However it is always more productive to train your dog under a good instructor, especially if you are not experienced

    I'm getting a boxer puppy July 20th and I think what you should do is buy so sort of dull Apple spray for dogs, just spray it over the patio and she will stop going there dogs don't like the smell of dull apples and will avoid it :)
