Why won't the toilet water go down even though it's not clogged?
The toilet water may not be going down because there could be a problem with the toilet's flushing mechanism or the water level in the tank. It's possible that the flapper valve is not opening properly, the chain is tangled, or the water level in the tank is too low. Checking and fixing these issues may help the water to go down properly.

What causes a toilet to fill not overflow but to just stop flushing - no final swoosh?
To my experience, even though I am only 13, I have reason to believe that it may be clogged. It seems to help when you plunge it for about 5 seconds. All I do is put full pressure on the plunger, rock up and down on it, and then finally release it from the toilet. yes, it is clogged, no doubt. try plunging, however it may need a snake if it still doesn't work.

What should you do to prevent toilet from overflowing when water is turned on after being turned off for eight hours?
There should be no reason the toilet would overflow. The water being turned off should have no effect on it. As long as the drain is clear even if the shut off valve in the tank didn't work, the water will just go down the drain.
Is toilet water good for dogs?
Not really because most folks put bleach tabs or some type of disinfectant in the toilet. Just keep the lid down on your toilet bowls. If there is no bleach or any other type of disinfectant in the toilet bowl then I would not worry. Why not give your dog a nice large clean bowl full of fresh water so he can drink out of that instead. Be sure to give fresh water in the bowl daily.Another consideration:"Toilet water" is just tap water, so it can be tempting to allow your dog access to it and "save yourself some trouble," but it's a bad idea. Even if you don't use any chemical additives in your toilet, dogs aren't very discriminating...and most won't hesitate to take a drink even if someone forgot to flush.
Why is water still coming out of the toilet shut off valve under the toilet even though the main valve outside has been turned off water is not coming out of any taps in the house?
It is just water draining down from the pipes, or sphiphoning out of the water heater. Open both hot and cold taps on the highest sink and the lowest fixture. If the lowest happens to be the toilet, flush it and let it refill. Once should be enough to empty the lines.
Why wont your toilet bowl go all the way down when flushed everything in the tank has been changed out and the water level is as high as it will go it flushed fine a week ago?
Something stuck in the drain, the main drain has collasped or has tree roots growing into it or the vent in the roof has become plugged. A good plunging is the first step. Next, fill a 5 gallon bucket with water and pour it in the bowl as fast as it will take it without overflowing. This may flush out a clog since it is a much larger volume of water than usual. Tree roots you can make a guess about depending on any trees that may be in the line of the drain. You can get root remover that you flush down the toilet that kills the roots. It may need to be cleaned to clear the line. Another consideration- if the toilet was fine on a flush and now is "backing up" seek out any inspection chamber on your property, this is usually in a garden covered by a cast iron plate. Check if you can by lifting this access point that everything from the house is passing down, you may see this is blocked and could be an issue where the main drain is backing up to the property. If its clear using VERY soapy water have someone pour that down the toilet, it will seep through if there is a block and you may see in the inspection area the bubbles. Frequently things that block a toilet are the frames that hold toilet bowl cleaning blocks that have come loose and started to capture paper-waste on the way down or even female sanitary ware which frequently will catch on a small sewer fracture and cause a blockage. In these cases a jet wash may be the best way forward. Also check any other water outlet's that bathroom i.e. a hand basin, watch the water go down there. If its fast and the basin outlet is merged to the toilet (most are) then the sewer line is clear and the block is probably in the "S" bend of the toilet.
