The running gag in the film is that Bruce is having trouble getting Sam to go to the bathroom outside. Sam has no problem lifting his leg on the couch or chair, but just stands and looks at Bruce when he is brought outside. There are several scenes where the dog is shown lifting his leg and beginning to urinate on the couch or chair. Bruce picks the dog up and carries it outside as the dog continues to pee. Bruce sets the dog down outside on a small area, which is mostly dirt and a tree. A trainer placed the dog on its mark next to the chair or couch and a tube was engineered under the cushions to pump water making it appear as if the dog was peeing. Another trainer stood off camera and used verbal cues to get the dog to lift its leg. A crew member stood off camera and controlled the water flow. The actor approached the dog from behind and picked it up. The cameraman turned off the camera and Jim Carrey began to play with the dog and give it treats. The actor then had a copper tube placed up his pant leg. The tube came out of the top of his pants and was bent up to fit between the dogs dangling legs. The actor held the dog close to his chest, belly side up. Some colored water was pumped through the tube to give the appearance that Sam was still urinating as they go down stairs and outside by the tree.
