I have a 10 month old female, Sophia, who was not fully potty trained when we got her. If we ever catch her in the act of going on the carpet, we scold her and put her on the puppy pad. She seems to be getting along well and mostly goes on our walks outside or on the puppy pad inside.

However, when she goes on the puppy pad, she folds it over to cover the pee spot. I've never seen her do this as she mostly does this when I'm at work or asleep, but I heard the pad rustling early morning one time and went over to investigate. The pad was folded over and she was sitting next to it. I use a puppy pad holder but she is able to pull it out.

It's really difficult to scold her when I don't ever catch her in the act and I'm also afraid that if I do scold her, I might discourage her from going on the pad. Any suggestions?
