Archie's Mom,
I understand your frustration!! Chewy had the same problem, and so I bought the litter box that was mentioned. The box really helped him to stay on the pad (not wander off), and helped to distinguish the pad from rugs, ect. The bad news.... he likes to go in the corners and when he lifts his leg, the pee goes under the pad a lot. This creates a big mess, although you can take the box and clean it, at least it is not on your floor. When he goes outside, he squats, but in the box he lifts his leg. I think because the sides give him something to aim at. Also, he sometimes puts his front paws out, and pee hits the opening, and drips out. So in my experience, the box was a great training tool, but still not the perfect solution. Here is a thread that I posted with similair frustrations...

I'm still experimenting, looking for the perfect solution. Please let us know how things work out for you!
