It\u2019s common, and it\u2019s fixable. The usual triggers are rewards tapering off too soon, long gaps between potty breaks, stress, anxiety, adolescence, hormones, or illness. The fix is to go back to basics for a while: a tighter schedule, the same potty spot, big rewards, and no scolding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/app.adjust.com\/1lehyg83?fallback=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.zigzag.dog%2Fus%2F%3Futm_source%3Dwebsite%26utm_medium%3Din_article%26utm_campaign%3Din_article_CTA&amp;redirect_macos=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.zigzag.dog%2Fus%2F%3Futm_source%3Dwebsite%26utm_medium%3Din_article%26utm_campaign%3Din_article_CTA\">Flush your woes away with Zigzag!<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just when you think you\u2019ve totally nailed potty training, you step in a puddle. Ugh. Dealing with a potty training setback is frustrating. You feel like you\u2019ve got the whole routine down, and the next minute you\u2019re back to cleaning up accidents. Don\u2019t worry.

It\u2019s likely just time for a quick refresher course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this guide, we\u2019ll walk through why regressions happen, whether they\u2019re normal (yes), and exactly how to get your puppy back on track so you can ditch the paper towels for good. We\u2019ll also look at how age changes things, so whether you have a brand-new puppy or a teenager acting out, you\u2019ll know what to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Download the <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/%23how-it-works\">Zigzag app<\/a> for dedicated potty training lessons, and get your questions answered by our <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/experts\/\">professional dog trainers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is puppy potty training regression?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A regression happens when a puppy who\u2019s been doing great with going outside suddenly starts having accidents indoors again. It can feel like a step backward, but it\u2019s usually a sign that something has changed in their routine, environment, or body, rather than a sign that training hasn\u2019t worked. Find the root cause and it gets much easier to fix. on track.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><br><strong>Why is my puppy regressing in potty training?<\/strong> <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Setbacks usually happen for a few common reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Inconsistent <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-health\/feeding\/puppy-rewards-and-treats\/\">rewards<\/a> <\/strong>&#8211; it\u2019s really easy to sit back and think \u2018yep, my pup\u2019s potty-trained\u2019 when you\u2019ve gone a few days with no accidents, you stop watching them as closely, or taking them out so often, then whoops accidents happen!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Too long between potty breaks<\/strong> &#8211; young pups can\u2019t hold it for long, so need regular potty breaks, even if you think they\u2019re potty-trained.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stress <\/strong>&#8211; a really common factor in potty training regressions. This could be as simple as a change in environment, pups like routines and predictability!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Anxiety<\/strong> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-behavior\/understanding-your-puppy\/why-are-dogs-scared-of-fireworks\/\">scared of fireworks<\/a>?\u00a0 Struggling with being alone? Or does your puppy <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-behavior\/understanding-your-puppy\/why-is-my-dog-scared-of-everything\/\">seem to be scared of everything<\/a>? Stress can often make house-trained dogs have slip-ups in their potty training.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Illness<\/strong> &#8211; if your pup has a <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-health\/new-puppy-health\/best-food-for-puppy-diarrhea\/\">tummy upset<\/a> or a UTI they will need to go more frequently and quickly, this can be a common reason for potty training regressions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Age and hormones:<\/strong> Adolescence and sexual maturity bring their own setbacks. We cover these by age below.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is it normal for puppies to regress during potty training?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes! It\u2019s totally normal for regressions to happen when you\u2019re potty training your puppy. Mostly for the reasons we outlined above, but also because we can often try to rush things along, and their potty training just isn\u2019t completely reliable yet. You&#8217;ll get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to <\/strong>fix puppy potty training regression<strong><em>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With plenty of patience. To get potty training back on track, go back to basics for a little while. Here\u2019s a step-by-step plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <strong>Manage the environment\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Restrict access to the rug or room your puppy keeps targeting. Roll up that rug for now, or use a <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/new-puppy\/puppy-essentials\/how-to-choose-a-puppy-playpen\/\">puppy playpen<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/new-puppy\/puppy-essentials\/best-puppy-crates\/\">crate<\/a> to keep them in a safe space when you can\u2019t watch them like a hawk. Dogs generally don\u2019t like to soil where they sleep or eat, so a smaller space can help them hold it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Set reminders in your phone\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take your puppy to their bathroom spot:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>as soon as they wake up<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>after eating or drinking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>after a play session<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>roughly every hour in between<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It sounds like a lot, but it gives them plenty of chances to get it right. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-training\/toilet-training\/puppy-house-training-schedule\/\">puppy house training schedule<\/a> can help you plan the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Take them to their potty area\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use the same part of the yard every time. Your puppy\u2019s scent acts like a signpost telling them, \u201cThis is the spot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Give them time to go<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Too often, we rush this bit, stay outside for 10 minutes and be quite boring, no need to get them riled up as they might \u2018forget\u2019 why they went out there, as they\u2019re having too much fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. <strong>Reward them when they get it right<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If they pee or poop outside, make a huge fuss: lots of praise and a high-value treat immediately. Make sure they know they did a fantastic job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. <strong>And if they don\u2019t potty\u2026<\/strong>try again shortly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Head back inside and put them in their crate or playpen for 10\u201315 minutes, then try again. In the meantime, watch for sniffing, circling, or wandering off. Those are your cues to get back to the yard fast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/app.adjust.com\/1lehyg83?fallback=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.zigzag.dog%2Fus%2F%3Futm_source%3Dwebsite%26utm_medium%3Din_article%26utm_campaign%3Din_article_CTA&amp;redirect_macos=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.zigzag.dog%2Fus%2F%3Futm_source%3Dwebsite%26utm_medium%3Din_article%26utm_campaign%3Din_article_CTA\">Still stuck?

You\u2019ll quickly see exactly when they usually need to go.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>8. Don\u2019t <\/strong>scold your puppy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We know it\u2019s frustrating when you have potty training regressions, but taking it out on your puppy will cause more problems, as they can start to \u2018hide\u2019 where they go. It just hasn\u2019t quite clicked that they need to go outside, practice makes perfect!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read our full <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-training\/toilet-training\/puppy-house-training-schedule\/\">guide to puppy toilet training<\/a> to learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Potty training regression by age<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reason behind a regression often depends on how old your puppy is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4+ month puppy potty training regression&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At 4 months old, we often think our pups are fully trained, but they\u2019re still very much babies. It&#8217;s likely they just can&#8217;t physically hold it as long as we think. Just tighten up the schedule and make sure you are going out to the yard with them to reward every single success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7+ month puppy potty training regression&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ah, the teenage phase. Adolescence can be a challenging time. Your pup\u2019s brain is rewiring, and they\u2019re easily distracted. We also tend to stop rewarding them as much at this age. The fix? Bring back the treats! Keep the praise high and the rewards frequent for a while longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>10+ month puppy potty training regression&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At 10 months, hormones might be at play. As they reach sexual maturity, female dogs go through hormonal shifts, and male dogs develop a strong urge to mark their territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Annoying? Yes. Fixable? Also yes. Get back on a strict schedule, and if you need to leave the house for a while, consider asking a neighbor or <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-behavior\/separation-and-sleep\/should-i-get-a-puppy-sitter\/\">pet sitter<\/a> to stop by so your pup isn\u2019t left too long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/app.adjust.com\/1lehyg83?fallback=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.zigzag.dog%2Fus%2F%3Futm_source%3Dwebsite%26utm_medium%3Din_article%26utm_campaign%3Din_article_CTA&amp;redirect_macos=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.zigzag.dog%2Fus%2F%3Futm_source%3Dwebsite%26utm_medium%3Din_article%26utm_campaign%3Din_article_CTA\">Try Zizag today!<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Get back to puppy training basics with Zigzag&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you\u2019re potty training a brand-new puppy or your older dog is having a setback, Zigzag is here to support you.
