If you're planning to keep her indoors, then you'll need to train her to pee in a designated spot like the toilet or in her crate or playpen. But is she's a big dog, I would recommend you to bring her out to the grass after all, a big dog do need walks or else they will go mad in the house & destroy everything out of boredom. It should also be socialized the moment you adopt it. As soon as possible coz most dogs that are adopted from shelters usually will have some behavioral probs which are either caused by their previous owners or is a natural thing since young, especially the strays. Errrr, the smelly liquid usually does not work. I used to have one & I used to put a few drops on the newspaper but my dog Amber just doesn't want to do on it, with or without the liquid. Newspaper training can be quite hard to train coz it's not a spot where dogs would like to do it on. They will usually prefer tiles so if that's the case for your dog, then train it to do in toilet. And always praise it after she does on it but always correct it if it does in the wrong place like the carpet, etc. How I taught Amber not to do in the house but can only do it in the porch(only to pee not to poo unless emergency) is when she does in the porch, i keep quiet & let her do till she's finish. I don't praise her at all so that she does not get confused & think why I praise her after doing her business there. But when she did it in the house, I scolded her upside down. Then after a few days, she learned it. Quite easy!
