Is there something that will attract a dog to a specific part of the yard to relieve itself?

Full Question:

What is the best technique to have my 5 year-old (Female) G. Shepherd relieve herself in one area of the yard only? Are there safe products available to attract her to a certain area ... should I construct a 'sand pit' for her to use?

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jerry

Ed's Answer:

There is nothing to attract a dog. I would use pea gravel in a dog run and then put the dog's poop (that is picked up from other areas of the yard) in that area. Always take the dog to that spot and praise the dog with "GOOD OUTSIDE" when it does relieve itself.
