Toilet training and accidents at home
We discuss puppy toilet training and accidents in adult dogs by looking at timing, toilet placement and time alone. A sudden change may also need a veterinary check.
Can I ask about toilet accidents in an adult dog?
Yes. We first distinguish a continuing difficulty from a sudden change. Discuss sudden changes with a veterinarian; a trainer can help you review the home environment and practice.
Situations we can discuss
- A puppy has not learned where to toilet.
- Accidents beside the toilet pad or elsewhere.
- Success with supervision but accidents when alone.
- An adult dog that previously managed well suddenly has accidents.
Before your consultation
Record meals, sleep, toilet times and locations before responding to accidents. Discuss making the toilet easy to reach, recognising likely times and rewarding successful toileting clearly.
What to tell the trainer
Existing video may help, but do not recreate a difficult or unsafe situation just to film it.
- Meal, waking and toilet times.
- The location and size of the toilet area and where accidents occur.
- Time alone and recent changes in routine or health.
Choosing a suitable training format
Ask whether the trainer considers your toilet setup and daily routine and explains practice after your dog returns home. Course duration and session count alone do not tell you this.
Specialist experience, practical guidance
Yurie Momoo is a JKC-certified dog trainer and nationally licensed veterinary nurse. We discuss your dog’s environment and a way forward that your family can continue at home.
Health and further information
Speak with a veterinarian about sudden behavioural changes or health concerns. A training consultation does not provide a veterinary examination, diagnosis or treatment.

Other training concerns
Biting, mouthing and growling
We discuss puppy mouthing, biting during handling, and growling around food or toys. We first understand when the behaviour happens and consider a safe, suitable training format.
Read more →Barking and reactions to everyday triggers
Barking at visitors, outside the window, on walks or when alone needs different questions. We look at the triggers and home environment, then discuss practice that fits your household.
Read more →Fear, nervousness and unfamiliar situations
If your dog fears people, other dogs or sounds, or freezes on walks, we consider the trigger and comfortable distance before suggesting individual lessons or kindergarten.
