When I brought him home at eight weeks, he went on the pad for two days, then stopped for two days, then started back to peeing on the pad. i didn't have to do anything. While he is still not completely poopy trained, he is pee trained but does lift his leg now. My new baby was nine weeks when I got her and the breeder had not even started to pad train her. She still has a lot of accidents but is mostly training herself to go where the big dogs go. Silk is five and had been trained for a doggy door. i don't have one and she immediately started peeing on the pads. So yes, I do think it is possible for your nine week old puppy to be pad trained but expect a few accidents along the way. |
As a breeder, I always say that we're working on potty training because if you're working with one, the other goes behind your back! Some get the hang of it quicker than others. Heck, my big dogs still leave me presents from time to time. Our year old Roxie will go outside to do her business but will still use the puppies peepee pad when she's in the house from time to time.
