If a new dog who isn't potty trained is added to a household where an older dog or dogs already live and are potty trained, it can cause the older dogs to start toileting indoors. The main problem is the scent of the new dog's urine being in the house. Completely removing the evidence of any indoor toileting is essential. Use an enzymatic cleaner, such as "Nature's Miracle" which is designed to break down the chemicals in urine that make dogs recognize it as urine. This and similar products are available through your veterinarian and at local pet stores. The next step is to create a dog-safe area where the new dog can be secured when he is not being supervised, and where the old dogs are not permitted. Make sure it has an easy clean floor, such as vinyl or linoleum and clean up after each mess. Put the new dog through regular house training, and only allow him in the rest of the house and with the other dogs when you are able to fully supervise him and interrupt any attempts at toileting inappropriately.

If you're gonna keep the dog inside, having it potty trained will make your life ever so much nicer. If not trained, most dogs will pee and poo whenever and wherever they get the urge - even inside. If you're gonna keep the dog outside all the time, then it doesn't matter.
