At some point I also had problems to make Blacky pee where I wanted, he used his potty, but only if it was in the corner that he had chosed, so I would try to put the potty in the exact same place where she pees. Another thing that helped me, is that I had to use A LOT of wet substrate. When I was watching the tutorials to know how to train him people sprinkled a few peed bits on the potty and it was enough for them (or that's what they were saying) but I had to put ALL the peed substrate that I could find to make it work the first time. Thankfully later he got used to use it and I haven't have more problems ever again.

I've read that some of them like to have a covered place to do it. And some only use things with a corner shape, but I don't know the veracity of those tips.

I hope you make it work. Good luck!
