I'm also going to reclean the carpets upstairs. I've been wanting to pull them out, but I'm waiting for spring so I can open the windows. We actually only have a few bedrooms with carpet. Maybe I'll just close the doors to those rooms until I know they're totally clean. I could probably dump a whole bottle of Nature's Miracle in that spot where the floor & the wall meet...and it still wouldn't be totally clean. The rest of the house is hardwood. Thank goodness.

Thanks so much for all of the advice. I think I just got really comfortable with the whole potty thing & need to make an effort to be a little more on top of it. Now that I've been watching them & restricting their freedom, I haven't seen Yoshi marking. That's encouraging. I'll take it day by day & keep my fingers crossed!
Yeah, my house is similar with the bedrooms being carpet. I really think it's harder for them to learn with carpet, it was so easy to train them on the hardwood. I personally think it's harder when you have more than one dog and in my case I have several male dogs that visit weekly, and I think they all want to claim my house. I never hard any marking problems when I just had one dog and no dog visitors.
