we use the grass pads - we have one in the bathroom (on tile next to our toilet so when daddy goes he goes too ::laughs:

- and one in the dining room (which is wood - we don't want the carpet getting stained "by accident") - and we use the training "pee-pee spray" - which is supposed to give the dog a scent so he does his business on top of it - which he does lol. And how they work is that they are like a dog litter box per say - they are a box with very little depth - a filter in between - and then the layer of grass on top. He's been pretty great with the training - we've used them since day one and he's 6 months - no complaints... AND when out visiting he still knows to use news paper as a "substitute" =) (because initially we put paper UNDER the grass pads)
