I do a combo of outdoor and pee pad training (not that I'm an expert or anything), but so far this method has worked for me. As soon as I wake up in the morning and also when I get home from work, I immediately take my pup outside and we walk to the same patch of grass outside our townhome and he goes pee right away. During the day though, I don't expect him to hold in his pee for 8 hours, so I have puppy pads in his pen. A helpful tip that I've been using to puppy pad train is if Wall-E pees somewhere he's not supposed to, before I clean it up, I take a puppy pad and soak up some of his pee with it, then I take some WEE WEE pad training spray and spray it on the pad. For some reason, this method has been working GREAT with Wall-E. He uses the pads about 70% of the time when he's in his pen versus 40% of the time before I started doing that.

Hope that helps!
