It takes a while. Consistancy, and a ton of praise when they go. They need to go out or in the pen almost every hour during the day so they get the hint. I have 2 brothers 6 months old. One is great and will go out and do it, with an occasional accident inside while the one we have had for 3 weeks is pretty well trained to go on a pad in a pen, but will hardly go at all outside, but we will slowly work on that. Our 14 year old female will still go in the house sometimes, and she knows better. I am not sure how old I was when I stopped making messes, I guess over 1 but before 2? |
