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.

Dogs do not like to defecate where they eat. So one method I've used is to feed them where they have accidents. You can start feeding at your office since at this point he has not really associated your office as an extension of his living space.
