By 1 year Loki was having accident free weeks. Sam took longer because she wasn't trained when we got her (at like 10 months) but she was trained like 6 months later. They ring a bell to go outside. Occasional accidents (like a few per month total) are mostly my fault. Like, yesterday Loki peed on the floor but I was in the closet upstairs putting laundry away and ironing for like 30 minutes. He probably rang his bell and I didn't hear it. That's not his fault. There will always be accidents like that but yes they can be trained to know they need to go outside and to ask to go out.
