Housebreaking and potty training

Working with a new dog who needs to learn how to potty reliably on pads. While I do not like training dog to target potty pads, this dog does need to learn the potty pad targeting skill. At first it did not want to go when I was present but eventually it did. However it had been waiting so long that it had a very full bladder and bowels it started on the pads but then moved off the pads because there was just too much urine to stay in one place. Needles to say it peed all over the floor. What do you think I did? Did I punish the dog for peeing on the floor? No, of course not, I rewarded the dog for making a good effort. The next time is peed on the pads but defecated on the floor. What did I do? I rewarded it for peeing on the pads. The next time it hit the target straight on, and we will see how tomorrow goes.
