Simple answer: small dog = small bladder They just can NOT "hold it" as long.
More complicated answers:
1. Some people are just not as diligent with housebreaking a small dog. Reason is because if full-grown a Chihuahua has an accident it's easy to clean; if a full-grown German Shepherd has an accident it's a huge mess!
2. People are more likely to "paper train" smaller dogs first...this makes full housebreaking take longer.
3. People are more likely to"spoil" a smaller dog vs. a larger dog.
4. Some people (idiots really) don't have a clue how to housebreak ANY dog .... they use "old fashioned"methods like hitting or "rubbing the nose in the mess".This does NOT housebreak a dog!! It only makes them afraid so that they hide somewhere in the house when they have to "go".... and a small dog can more easily "hide" a mess than a big dog.
Small dogs may have smaller bladders and higher metabolisms, making it more challenging for them to hold their urine for long periods. Additionally, small dogs may not have as much control over their bladder muscles compared to larger dogs. Inconsistent training or lack of a regular schedule can also contribute to difficulties in housebreaking small dogs.
