What I do with mine is cover the whole floor of the puppy pen they are in with potty pads. I put their bed at one end. That way when they get out of bed to go potty they are on a pad. They can't make a mistake and don't go in their bed.

Then about every week or so over time I move one pad overlapping it on the other so there is about six inches between their bed and the rest of the floor covered in pads. I keep doing this until I can eventually take one pad out and move another overlapping, etc. until finally their bed is at one end of the pen and the pad is at the other.

They get used to peeing on the pads that way and as the pad is moved they automatically go farther and farther over the bare floor to where the pads are to pee. It has worked really well for my bunch. The washable pads are heavy enough that they usually don't move or chew on them too much unless they get really bored. But they can't do too much damage if they do.

Hope this helps. If you are using a room instead of a pen then cover the whole floor of the room with the pads.
