| Not my female APBTs. My female Miniature Pinschers yes. But then again little dogs are harder to housetrain.
Envy was crate trained by about 6 weeks (I got her at 3 wks) and completely house trained by 10 weeks. She even taught herself to ring the bell when she wants to go outside, when we are at work together.
I rescued Amira when she was 5 months old, and she was accustomed to living in a crate 24/7. It took me almost two weeks to break her of going potty in her crate.
The important things are:
crate when you can supervise
tether to you when she is not crated
feed and water on a schedule
assign a command to going to the bathroom, I use "empty"
praise her when she pottys outside | |

| I do think so. I've only owned 2 though. One didn't completely potty train until a year, and Reagan wasn;t PT until over six months. Now she can hold it like a camel though. | |

| Of my girls, Lyric was a bit harder, but she'd also developed a UTI during it, so it made it harder. | |
