Make sure you use a good enzyme cleaner, such as Natures Miracle, on those accidents, or he will continue to go back to the same spots. If the house isn't new, another dog could have left his scent behind and your dog will want to mark on those spots, so cleaning the whole carpet with an enzyme cleaner can be helpful. Even if you can't see or smell anything your dog can. A black light also will show up spots that are invisible to the human eye. Very enlightening.

Many people say, if you are to confine them in the bathroom, use a small gate instead of closing the door to make them feel less confined. We sometimes used a cardboard partition, but it has to have something sturdy in front of it and behind it to keep it from falling. Plywood could be dangerous, if it isn't stabilized solidly with something to keep it from tipping.
