But even now he still does a "drive by" when you least expect it. Good thing they're easy to pick up but does anyone have the same problem?
I'm starting to wonder if my house smells like poop when people come over. He snags the same spot every time in front of the tv.
Any suggestions? He's almost 7 months old and does this go on forever?

They learn real fast to be what I call "opportunistic poopers"--meaning, they carpe-carpet (seize the carpet) LOL. Seriously, they learn when they can sneak it out real quick when no one is looking. We were doing really well with potty training, but if I walked out of the room for EVEN A SECOND, she'd often leave a turd on the carpet. So I just started never leaving her alone for that second. We put her in the crate even if we were walking out for just a second. That did the trick.
We still have the occasional turd appearing out of no where, but that is rare, and usually if she has had some change in her food, such as some canned food when she usually eats dry.
