Those are all good tips.. I started the crate training, he's taking that pretty okay. However I have tried 3 times today to get him to go on the pad and he refuses. I've even changed pads, thinking maybe the other one was defective. If he doesnt go on the pad, I cannot positively reinforce it. I had him on the leash so he couldnt go too far I added a little bit of food to his bowl and let him eat and drink. Before I knew it he was urinating on the floor. I quickly moved him onto the pad but it was too late....But the other day when he went 4 for 5, I thought he was well on his way to learning......
