re: housetraining issues it sounds like he has marked the carpet and now it's sort of a "poop magnet". Is there any way you can remove the carpet and/or clean it with Nature's Miracle or other enzymatic cleaner? We had the same issue with Freyja so I removed the rug and she stopped pooping in that area.
I also leashed her to me and brought her with me everywhere I went around the house. When I couldn't take her, I shut her in her kennel (like when I made supper or put in a load of laundry)
Hope that helps,
