As you open the door, while you’re walking them out to the “spot”, repeat the word “outside?” as they follow along with you praise them.Always go outside with your puppy rather than let them run outside alone to potty.Ideally, it helps if this is the same door that your puppy will have access to during your supervised times in the house.
