Sounds like you're doing everything right. And 50 percent success isn't bad for three months. I've heard some people say they've had 100 percent success by 4 months. I was happy with 100 percent success by 9 months.

A couple things to check:
* Don't say "no" unless you catch him in the act.
* When you take him to the pee pad, it should be a positive experience. i.e., don't scold, pick him up and drop him roughly on the pee pad. Keep your voice animated and happy.
* If you see no improvement, you might try limiting his ability to wander when it's pee time. Use a baby gate in the kitchen and have the pee pad there.

Good luck. Don't give up. You're close.
