We have two labs... they were a problem initially.
Basically what I did on the advice of a dog trainer was the following:
I would take them outside at night, and say "Go Bathroom". Over and over and over until they did, and not letting them inside until they did. Took an hour once.
Sometimes they would just sit there and look at me. But they always eventually went.
When they did, I would just overdose them with praise. Sounded like a fool, going 'goooooooood DOG!' at midnight in my backyard.
Three years later, they actually understand the words. I open the sliding door, say 'Go Bathroom' and they head outside and go.
