I was also concerned about training because I was told it might be difficult. Zoey was started on pee pads before we got her. She was fully trained by the time she was 4 months. We used food rewards and positive reinforcement. We put up baby gates to limit the area she had access to. (Only one room until she was trained). I ignored the accidents and didnt scold, just rewarded every time she went on the pee pad. I was home (not working) so I could really be deligent about the training. I think that is key. You have to watch like a hawk!
I think if you do 2 things you will be successful.
Limit the area &
Positive reinforcement
Good luck.
