each dog will be soooooooooo different, and it's not an age thing, it all comes downs to if and how often they have accidents. I think if they go a full month without accidents, (ie holding till you get home, or ONLY used the pee pad if that's how they go) you can start to try. Also make sure your home is dog safe, start by giving them only and hour or two of freedom when you run a short errand or two, if all goes well, work up to longer time frames. Lola had the run of the house when she was about 7 months but out of 5 dogs she is only the second one that I have felt could be trusted, all the others were left in crates or in the laundry room. Some I hate to say it will never be ready.
