Zoe was first "trained" to go outside, but it was winter and she was sick so I switched to pads. I put pads down in our master bath and guest bath. I took her in there every 30 minutes or so (all the normal Potty times), shut the door, and told her "hurry up, use your pad". When she walked off it, I just gently put her back on it, repeating myself. As soon as she started to potty, I quickly said, "Goooood hurry up, Zoe!". When she finished I gave her a tidbit of dried beef liver (reserved just for potty treats). Now, she does have an occasional potty accident, but for the huge majority of times goes in and uses her pads.
