I was thinking the same thing. A smaller area with a tile floor- not carpet- will make clean up faster. Pads covering the area is a great idea too. Use baby gates in doorways if you need to so the area is small.
What I did when mine hit the pad, I'd say how awesome she did and give a treat. Positive reinforcement goes a long way- so does being consistent. A firm NO at the wrong poop spot, then moving her to the pad and saying POOP HERE helps. Don't yell, and don't over do the No. He'll get it, it's just going to take more time and patience. Hang in there!
