Will a week ruin toilet training?

[Nobhobs]

Ddog is going to stay with my mum for 6 nights, so that I can have my csection and settle back in afterwards. He's 14 months and we only cracked toilet training a few months ago. It's not an ideal situation as I'm always at home, but my mum works 9-5 so for four days out of the six he's there he's going to be left alone (well, with her other dog who he gets on great with). He's stayed there before and been ok, but she has sometimes come home to pee and poop, which is fair enough after such a long time. They can't be left with access to garden and there's no one to go check in on them.

My question is, will six days of just peeing and pooping wherever he wants ruin him being toilet trained in our house when he comes home? I don't know if I can deal with our house being used as a toilet when we have a newborn on our hands. If it's going to be a problem I might just send DH to pick the dog up as soon as we're home from hospital

@Nobhobs you are going in for a section and your mum is looking after the dog. Stop worrying. He'll be fine. Even if he regresses a bit in her house-he'll prob be fine when he gets home.

Honestly I think you have enough going on without stressing about him. He's going to a house he knows with another dog he goes.

Realistically you don't really have another option as you've said there aren't boarding options in your area or walkers in your mums area.

You need to focus on you and your DH and the baby and tbh there is no way I'd be asking DH to give up his first hours with his DC to check on the dog that your mum is already minding.

The thing is though, if you had another child at home your DH would have to be there for the child, I think he's being a bit unreasonable wanting to be there with you the whole time

This is crazy. It's clearly their first child - how is he being unreasonable wanting to be there. If they already had a child it might be different but they don't.
