Lily went on her own around 5 6 months it took a while. What helped in the end with us is when she would go to the matt on her own we would get all excited and have a little party and give her a treat when we started doing this it almost happened over night.

We mastered that by very gradually enlarging the area that Coby was in (set youself and Rudy up for success!). We also "walked" him back to the potty pad fairly often while potty training. And you know how you have a potty-party

when Rudy potties on the pad? Well, if he goes over there all by himself and potties, then you party like that X 10!!!!!

Try to catch him in the act (going on the pee pad) and praise the heck out of him!
