What did you use as a cleaner for all his accidents? Also, I agree with you that you probably missed some spots that he has gone in. Also where do you feed him?
I think we're kind of beyond this stuff, to be honest. If you are looking at the beginning of the thread, you'll see that I've been working on this for months (there were threads before this one). I'm familiar with training techniques such as the clicker, I know about crate training, I've read a ton about potty training in general from these forums and from several books. We even tried potty bells for a while. If you had told me six months ago that I would still be trying to get Thor 100% trained, I would not have believed you.

I use Nature's Miracle to clean his spots at home. I work in an office building that covers a fraction of a city block, and is three stories high, so no, I have not tried to eliminate the residual scents of his accidents at the office, particularly since he toileted anywhere he wanted there for two years prior to my ownership. I'm not sure why this would be relevant anyway, since he is generally very well behaved at the office and uses his pad reliably. I believe I will be able to keep him from marking my specific office completely, and the rest of the office most of the time, but I'm not going to stake my life on it.

Not sure why it matters where he eats? His bowls are generally in the same room as his pads, but I move them around sometimes.
