He wasn't completely trained, but within a couple of months, he was dependable.
I found the key is taking him out a lot, being consistent, using treats and naming the function (we used go pee).
It takes time and patience, but it's worth it.
Once your puppy finds out she doesn't have a choice, she will go outside and it will become a habit.
And don't forget it's been wet and cold lately, some puppies don't like that.
Your furbaby is young and impressionable so it shouldn't take long. Best of luck!
