When potty training Miko, we put puppy pads down in the spots where he had accidents...That way, everytime he went to those spots to pee, there was a pad there. Everytime he peed on his pad, we would say "good boy" and be so excited...it looked like a party
He was trained in a very short period of time, and he's 1yr 9mos old, and he's still potty trained
Hope this helps.
