Well my pup isn't completely housebroken and is 6 months but I'm probably one of the few that will take full resposibity for their pup not being housebroken. She knows she isn't supposed to go inside(and this isn't just something I say when she peed on the floor and I'm getting on to her, she really knows she isn't). I don't yell at her or anything, I know I just mad eit sound like I did. A firm no and sometimes I'll put her in her pen for just a few minutes(by the way does anyone recommend this or not recommend this, putting her in her crate for a "timeout"). The only time she goes on the floor is when I forget to take her out or lose track of time. She isn't the best at letting me know she wants out, unless its to go chase a cat or something, and we're working on that. I think if it weren't for me and my memoryloss she would be doing great.
I do know too many people that have ended up getting rid of a puppy b/c they don't get them housebroken soon enough or don't like their chewing or the dog won't quit barking so I just recommend preparing yourself for the worse just in case you do get it.
