| I think it has more to do with the dog and how your training then whether they are a boy or girl.

| Our boy was surprisingly easy to train using close monitoring and lots of positive reinforcement. He learned early on that going outside earned him treats - eventually he started asking to go out, no treat required. Marking behavior was tougher to deal with, but not a problem after he was neutered. I recommend patience, consistency and positive reinforcement - I 'm sure you both will do fine |

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | I do not think there is too much difference. It depends on the dog

| Oh and I haven't noticed a difference between the sexes in my limited experience (2 Yorkie girls that I was close to and our own boy). Sorry I didn 't really answer the question previously Last edited by P-Nut Mom; 11-26-2012 at 08:57 PM. |

| Laddy was very easy to train. He was pad trained at 10 weeks and outside at 14. I too think it just depends on the dog.

| I agree with what many others have said... I have a boy and a girl. I think the girl was easier to train, but it could have had a lot to do with her bigger brother showing her the ropes

| I agree that it really is more about the individual dog. Max was effortless to train. Teddy came to us at 8 months fully outdoor trained by his breeder. They are full brothers, so maybe it is in their genes to be easy in this department.

| I've only had male dogs- my GSP was trained when we brought him home so I can't count him but Blazer has been pretty easy to train, overall. I'm a SAHM though so I think that makes it easier for me- I'm always here and can be really consistant. It worked for my female children (all potty trained before age 2) so I use the same idea for the dog. LOL! Keep them close, watch for signals, praise like crazy for success, and just generally be aware and proactive.

| I have always had a doggie door and I cant remember getting my dogs to use it ever being an issue. HOWEVER, my dogs will mark on my husbands recliner when they are mad or feel like we have not spent a enough time with them - which is rare! If we get home on Fridays from work and have to leave again shortly after, they get mad and I cant blame them. They have been alone all day and it makes them mad when their needs arent met and they have their way of telling us. They have me trained now! lol |

| I definitely agree that it depends on the dog and also how well your training them. I didn't potty train Geno as hard as I did with our girl. Our girl knows to go onto the pad but she still has a few accidents here and there which is expected cause she's only 6 months old exactly today lol And the accidents are usually due to the pad needing changed. She'll go potty right next to the pad in these cases. Geno is 1 yr 6 months old exactly today and he marks every where and goes wherever. It's really annoying but the only one I can blame is myself for not being as consistent with it as I am with Mia. Plus Mia was very easy to train and caught on to pad training incredibly well. When I first got Geno, potty training him became a nightmare and I started to just give up. I don't think it has anything to do with his gender though. More so his stubborn temperment cause he is quite smart. Just last night, I threatened both of them with the crate at bedtime cause they both wouldn't calm down and go to bed. Geno took quickly to this threat and ran onto the bed and laid down right on top of me. lol
