This is unfortunatly the pitfall of paper/wee wee pad training. It's hard for them to get the aim right and once they miss, it is hard for them to determine what is OK and what isn't. The clearer the instructions, the easier it is for a dog to succeed. That's why I prefer training to go outside. The difference between inside and outside is so much clearer to them. If it is at all possible for you, I'd recommend retraining to go outside. So sorry to hear about your problems!
