We started pee pad training Meka at 9 wks and at 10 mo's she's just about 95% there. IMO it is best to feed them on a schedule...and its a lil more helpful for you to have an idea of when they have to go potty. The first thing I was told was that you should take your pup to the pad within 10-20 min after they've drank water and about 30-45 min after they've eaten...and should you see them "sniffing around" in between. Also, making sure you have set command words is helpful... like for Meka we tell her: GO POTTY ON PAD or POTTY ON PAD and she will go downstairs and potty on her pad. There are times when she doesnt have to use it and will just sit on it. But I tell her NO SIT on pad and she understands. I think maybe when you see your pup sit on the pad, let her know that the pad is not to sitting. Also, if possible try putting the pad a little further away from her bed, toys and water... that might help a little.... Aside from that, just be persistant... she'll get it
