Take heart, Debbie! :hugging:
I guess it is no easy switch.
If you are annoyed at it, take a little break from it.
You can always try again another time.
I know the back and forth would confuse them, but it is probably better than you feeling frusterated.
I guess they are really used to holding it and don't think that they are "allowed" to pee inside.
When you do resume training, give a little treat everytime they use the wee-wee pad.
As they are so used to outdoors, what if you bring the pad outdoors?
Would they go on it then?
If they were on a leash, and you bring them to their usual potty spot that has the pad on top of it?
Eventually, ONE of them should catch on and when the other two see the one getting a treat for going on it...it should snowball.
Just an idea...
