Puppy pads are great but when we trained our yorkie to go on the pad she would tear it up, I guess she was trying to bury it, anyway it made a huge mess. So I tied a bell on the door everytime she messed in the floor (I mean pad) I would tell her no walk her to the door and make her ring the bell. After about 2 weeks of this she caught on. I think it is a very good way of communication with your dog. Then one day I came home and the bell was laying in the floor next to a puddle of pee, she was hiding behind the couch scared to death because she new she had done wrong. I couldn't blame her for it, I was gone to long. Poor Thing she is so sweet.
