Not sure if you were asking me specifically, but Thor is scared of the clicker. I do praise and treat when he goes in the right place. He definitely knows to go on the pads, 99% of the time anyway. It's that last 1% that's killing us. I have been expanding and contracting his range depending on his success. At this point, he went 45 days with no accidents, so I don't want to return him to the crate.
Also, even though I was very sad to see him squat, I did move him before any damage was done.
