    Can't you just prevent him? Keep him on leash and distract him maybe, untill you arrive at the potty area.

    Yes I was going to suggest carrying him but I thought it would be hard to pick up a 4 month old pup. If it's OK for you, you can do it.

    no time like the present to work on the leash thing I'd work on that now.

    But for your issue, I would stand there or put a chair or something there to discourage him.

    He is way too young to potty on his own. He'll make his own decisions on where to go if you don't go out with him.

    LOL, and at our house even when they are adults, at the start of every winter with snow on the deck I have to go right out with again. It seems in doggy minds snow on deck equals snow on ground, what's the difference, why go farther than they have to? I have to go out with them to show that there IS a difference.

    I would say pick up the poop and dont let him pee on the deck anymore. Carry him off of it if you need to.

    As far as smells just wait until he has gas. My female lab can clear a room some nights.

    Anything you dont want them to do when they are older, dont let them do while they are younger.
