-larger washable pad underneath
-wrote a mark in the middle of the pad with a sharpie
-rewarded with a treat when he made it all of the way on the pad and no longer when he was simply "close"
Someone suggested filling an empty water bottle with sand and putting it in the middle of the pad for him to aim at, but gizmo just thought it was a toy and just kept dragging it off of the pad and around the room. lol! 
It might work for you though.
Another suggestion I was given was to put the pad in a box with sides like a kitty litter box. That sounded like a great idea, but I never actually tried it.
Good luck.  |
Great tips! Joey never really like disposable pads, I don't know if he didn't like walking on them or what, but I had this problem with disposables, so I switched to washable pads. He's dead center now.
