Have you tried a crate?
Hi Charlie,
Try putting the puppy pad just outside the back door first and move it farther and farther away towards the area you want him to evetually use, after each time he sucessfully uses the new spot. It may take a while, he feels safe in the house.
Can you not put him in his crate when you leave for 4 hours? That's when you need to use it...that is not a very long time if he is used to his crate. He should not go in there and will learn to hold it.
Hope this helped
Elaine
