Hello everyone! Does anyone have any advise on potty training a Brussels that is indoors only? He goes on the pee pads most of the time, but is still having problems. Any advise?

I am a certified pet dog trainer CPDT and thought I could offer some advice- Even if you are working on indoor potty only, you should confine your pup to a smaller area when unsupervised (such as gated in the kitchen with pee pad). Non-carpeted areas are best(less tempting).
When you are home, SUPERVISE at all times. Reward with praise and a yummy treat for elimination of the pee pad. Do not allow mistakes- if your pup look like he/she is going to eliminate in the wrong place, pick him/her up and put him/her on the pad. Mistakes when you are home are due to lack of supervision and avoidable.
