If you were to adopt an adult dog that is already house trained, could you train it to go in an a specific area of the yard?
yes! Every time she needs to go out side, leash her and take her to the designated spot where you want her to do her business, try not to let her go anywhere else in the yard. Put a word to her designated spot.. "Go pee" and take her there. Praise her with pats, love and ocassionally a treat. She will get it..as long as Your consistant.
Good Luck.
I can let my 3 dogs loose in the yard, and tell them "get over there" and they will all walk over to the correct spots and do their business. Of course it took time, but now I don’t even have to step outside the door :).. and they we all rescued as young adults.

Absolutely. You’ll just need to walk your dog over to the area and command him or her to "go pee" or whatever command you want to use. Praise them whenever they go in the right area, and it should be an easy learning process.
