Why Toilet Training Issues Happen:
There are several reasons dogs may struggle with toilet training:
-
Inconsistent routines – not being taken outside often enough or at the right times.
-
Mixed signals – being scolded for accidents can confuse or scare a dog.
-
Medical issues – urinary infections or digestive problems can cause accidents.
-
Too much freedom too soon – allowing a puppy full run of the house before they’ve learned.
-
Anxiety or stress – changes at home can disrupt even well-trained dogs.
-
Lack of early training – rescue dogs may never have been properly house-trained before.
The Good News:
With clear guidance, patience, and consistency, every dog can learn where and when to toilet. Successful toilet training not only keeps your home clean but also reduces stress and strengthens the bond between you and your dog.

The Problem With Toilet Training:
Toilet training can be one of the biggest frustrations for dog owners.
Accidents in the house, constant cleaning, and the worry of “will my dog ever get it?” can quickly take the joy out of puppyhood — or make life stressful with a rescue dog.
While some dogs pick it up quickly, others need more time, patience, and the right approach to succeed.
