It depends - what's the age of the puppy? How consistent are you in your training? Are you giving lots and lots of praise for correct behaviour rather than punishing for mistakes. If you're really good at catching the puppy and using lots of praise, most puppies can be housetrained (with occasional accidents) in 2 - 3 weeks.

It depends on the dog, and the person! I know someone who housetrained her dog in one night. But with some people/dogs it can take a year! With Jaylie and I, it took about three weeks.

depends on the breed. Hounds I believe tend to be more stubborn than others while sporters and hearders are so willing to please that it won't take very long.Crate training helped me alot since my pups couldn't go wandering and peeing at night.Also don't give water at nightput them to sleep after they do their night pee so they can't get water or anything. BUT give them water fresh in the mornings

How long the process takes depends on the method you use. Potty training my Yorkie pup took me about a month and she still has on occasion "accidents".Shes 3 months old now. The method I used were "puppy sheets" they are designed to be a "place mat" for you're pup to potty on. It does take awhile for them to get the hang of it. (1-2 weeks)Praise and reward the puppy EVERYTIME it uses the puppy "sheets." Have lots of patience and never hit or scorn the dog if you find a puddle or feces on the floor. Unless you catch them in the middle of "going potty" anywhere off the sheets you can say a firm "no" with a lower tone of voice. Otherwise the pup might not understand.Place these "puppy sheets" all around the house (preferably in almost every room) to prevent less accidents.PetSmart and Wal-Mart are the only stores I know that carry this product. Good luck!
