The only punishing you should be doing is startling him when he starts peeing and then carry him to the pad, wait for him to finish, and praise. That's the same as outside training. Beyond that I don't know much about the pads, we don't use them. Have you tried crate training at all? Or giving him less freedom? I know Loki wasn't fully trained until about 10-11 months. He was still not ready for complete freedom at 9 months. I know they are all different, but maybe he just got too much freedom too soon??
