Congrats on the new one. Generally took a bit of time, but I used treats. Every time he went on the pee pad he got a treat. I did not work on outside until he was 4 months old or older as it was a very cold winter and very wet. Now he goes on the pad upstairs in the bathroom or bedroom. We have gone from 5 pad s to 2 and still no accidents. He gets walked twice in the morning and put into a pen while we are at work. Then several times after work and before bedtime. On the weekends he tells me when he has to go. The pee pad is usually only used at night or early morning before I have a chance to get dressed. We do not have a yard for him to go so we have to walk every time.
