A couple of ideas here...do you have one of the fold up doggie playpens? If so you could put that around the garage door from the house or doggie door into the garage (with the pad inside of it) and then he couldn't run out when you come home. Also...some males (including Jo) don't like to squat to go pee so they don't like to use the pads...you have to give them a 'target'...a water or pop bottle filled with water works well. Boog used to have a small, red fire hydrant on his pad.
