Maggie is now 2, but has been housebroken since she was 6 months old. It was not even close to being easy. I took her out every hour (same spot) on a leash. Used the same word PP or Potty. Once she did the PP, I immediately picked her up, gave her a hug and back inside. I trained her Potty part by taking her outside 15 minutes after her meals. During the night, she would sleep in her crate, right beside my bed. I took her outside every two hours. When she was able to hold her PP all night, is when she started sleeping with me. She only had one accident in the house. I caught her in the act, and immediately picked her up and told her "Bad Dog" and took her outside to where she normally did her business. Good Luck. Once they mark their territory in the house, you will need to neutralize it. I have a yard that is fenced, so using the PP Pads was not necessary. Whichever method you use, stick with it like glue. They are very smart and catch onto things very quickly.
