Sophie Kate is both pad and outdoor trained, it was a lot of work.
She finally was trained with the "go potty" command and once that was mastered the pads went down and we started using the command with placing her on the pad.
I would suggest if you do use a pad keep it down all the time and in the same place (moving them confused her). Also Sophie Kate does not like a dirty pad so we change our once they are dirty once (I know some people use the same pad all day, I can't).
I use washable pad from T Bumpkins, they are the best quality pads and they last forever. We have a rather large variety to chose from (that is for my pleasure, Sophie Kate is not picky on the pattern).
