The short answer is to take away the pee-pad! It's obviously not helping him learn to be clean indoors, so chuck it out and start the house-training again from scratch. Take 2 weeks off work, and watch him all the time he's awake. Every time he looks 'distracted' and starts sniffing in a particular area, trotting in circles, maybe whining,
take him outside and praise him when he performs.
The more concentrated effort you put in now, the sooner the problem will be sorted. Hope this helps :)
