I agree. Although, for me it seemed so incredibly easy. Kaji was fully trained when he came to me. I trained him not to mark in a matter of months, (neutering helped) and then completely piddle pad trained in 2 weeks when our situation changed. Not much of a headache, or heartache. But I was consistent, and kept at it even when it got tedious and well... frustrating. We did have a relapse about a month ago (Kaji lets me know he's upset with poop
He was leaving me presents in my room as soon as I stepped out of the apt on my way to work) Just as easily as I got his message, he got mine. After a week or two of "re-training" he's my perfect boy again.
