One of the most common wintertime complaints from pet owners is:
"My dog won’t go outside when it’s raining - and now it’s peeing in the house!"
As winter sets in with cold temperatures, rain, and gusty winds, it’s no surprise that our furry friends resist going outdoors to toilet, and if you have to go out with them - standing there in the cold and wet while they decide if it’s worth it - it becomes just as miserable for us.
But what can you do when your dog refuses to go outside in bad weather?

How to Train Your Dog to Use the PupGo Indoor Pet Toilet
Transitioning your dog to an indoor toilet like PupGo is easier than you might think - especially if they’re already having accidents inside. The key is consistency, positive reinforcement, and clear cues. Follow these proven training steps:
1. Introduce the PupGo Gradually
Start by allowing your dog to explore the PupGo without pressure. Let them sniff and investigate the faux grass on their own terms. You can even walk onto it with them and act interested - dogs often mimic behaviour.
2. Use a Clear Toilet Command
Once your dog is comfortable being near the PupGo, lead them onto it and use a consistent toileting command like “Go potty,” “Go toilet,” or any phrase you already use. Keep your tone upbeat and calm.
3. Reward Curiosity
Reward any positive interaction with the PupGo - sniffing, stepping on, or even just showing interest. Use treats, praise, or play - whatever motivates your dog most.
4. Reward Every Success (Immediately!)
If your dog pees or poops on the PupGo, immediately offer enthusiastic praise and a high-value treat. Timing is crucial: the reward should come as soon as they finish, so they associate the PupGo with positive outcomes.
5. Use Their Favorite Accident Spot to Your Advantage
If your dog keeps toileting in one specific spot in your home, try placing the PupGo there first. This works with your dog’s instincts and helps redirect the behaviour naturally. Once they’re reliably using it, you can slowly move it to a more convenient or preferred location.
6. Stay Consistent with Routine
Try guiding your dog to the PupGo at key times: after eating, waking up, or playing. Keep the same routine every day to build the habit. Repetition helps them understand that this is their new toilet spot.
7. Minimise Distractions & Maximise Comfort
Place the PupGo in a quiet, low-traffic area where your dog feels safe. Make sure there’s enough space for them to step on and off easily. Avoid tight corners, which can limit movement and cause hesitation.
Why Choose PupGo?
- Realistic artificial grass mimics the outdoors
