Fallsfal,
My cat sometimes drinks from the toilet too. Sometimes it is because I forgot to fill her bowl; She doesn't remind me to fill her water bowl as she does with her food bowl. The thing that concerns her most is whether or not she has a convenient place to sleep.
She also drinks outside, and in a pinch, if I forget to feed her, she'll pick up some 'fast food', being anything she can catch. Still I do like to keep her food bowl full.
I suspect that your dogs are quite happy living with you. First, you care very much about them. Please don't let your innocent lapses cause you deep concern. You are very far from providing them an abusive environment.
I don't think, either, that your therapist views you as being unproductive. You are working very hard, and I think he knows that. He might just have a different style, and you are still on the learning curve. You don't need to expect to be perfect to be wonderfull.
Take care.
