At What Age was your Pup Potty Trained?

[Amanda7]

Snickers was trained around 6 mos., and Baxter around 9 months.

A trainer told me once that puppies cannot control their bodily functions until they are six months old. Don't know if this is true or not, but I did notice a big difference when they turned six months. All of a sudden, it just clicked.

She sat out there (punishing herself in the rain) for about an hour and a half.

When she came back in we did not say anything to her. She has never gone in the house again.

Awww, that is sort of cute! What a smart cookie!! Hooray for Katy!!

Zander came home at 3 months, he was accident free by 7 months, he can go on pad but mainly will hold it to go outside. Jazzie came home when she was 4 months, she was accident free by 7 months, will hold it rather than use a pad. I used a bell with Jazzie and it made training so much easier.
I have read that they should not be trusted until after 2 years, I'd say a yr. is a good mark.
