I have three boys and one of them loves to lift his leg and he needs to go on something. He also started this at a very young age. It sometimes gets hard because he would get it all over and I was constantly cleaning urine. Then I found this little cardboard fire hydrants (I think they also have a scent on them so they want to go on it) I put it on top of the potty pad and it seems to help. I bought it online at gwlittle. Hope that helps.
