You also have to be diligent. If you are pee pad training him, you have have to keep a close eye on him and when it looks like he is needing to go pee (or poop for that matter) scoop him up and put him on the pee pad. We had Jack's pee pad surrounded on two sides by the wall (we put it near the corner of the walls) and I would put him on the pad and say "go potty" - you need a word to associate with him going to the bathroom. Then I would literally coral him on the pad by using my arms as a barrier and would not let him off until he did his business. Once he would go, I would praise him constantly (matter of fact, I still praise him) and give him a treat if he did good.
It is a constant thing and he will still have accidents every now and then and he's two years old already. Please have patience with your little one and good luck!
