Advice for getting your pup to potty without needing to walk around first?

Hi there!

My generally quite active dog just got diagnosed with stage 1 (though really it’s more like stage 2) IVDD and is on strict crate rest for 6 weeks aside from bathroom breaks.

My partner and I cannot get this dog to just go out and do her business without her needing to walk around first. I’ve tried taking her immediately to the spot in the yard she usually likes to go, but even then she wants to walk around. Given her back legs are still pretty weak, she keeps falling and we’re worried it’s stressing her out. So any advice on ways to stimulate her to go immediately once we set her down?
