How long did it take your dog?

Um, isn't it Shiba Inu?

you know, your housebreaking goal should be to not have any accidents at all. If you have an accident, you didn't pay enough attention to your pup-- it's your fault, not the dog's. Every accident the pup has sets your housebreaking way back. If you've had more than three accidents, you need to take a good long look at how you're supervising your puppy.
We don't expect or even want our dogs to "ask to go out", they'd be going in and out every five minutes for fun. We take them out on a regular schedule and they therefore learn to control their bodily functions. A healthy housebroken dog will make tremendous efforts to hold it.
Very young puppies should go out at night-- at 8 weeks, they go out every two hours during the day and every four hours at night. Set an alarm and make the effort. Gradually extend the time between trips, especially the overnight ones. By 12 weeks they generally can manage to hold it overnight, but should still be getting a noon trip out. By three to four months they should be able to hold it all day while you're at work. Some dogs body control doesn't develop as quickly as other dogs- some breeds are particularly notorious for this and these dogs will continue to need extra trips outside for some time.

I have 3 dogs, Shadow, a 10 year old cocker spaniel who was housebroken when we got him, Carmella, a black lab mix who it took about 2 months.....then there's Waylon, our basset hound.  The first 5 months with him were a nightmare all around, especially potty training.  I had tried 3 different books that specialize in training basset hounds, and none of them worked.  But then I got a book called Secrets of a Professional Dog Trainer at [linkhttp://nathan111.agkatz.hop.clickbank.net]http://nathan111.agkatz.hop.clickbank.net[/link]  and after only a few days he was a completely different dog.  He hasn't had an accident in the house in 3 months.

Cory is a very bright dog. He was reliably housetrained (meaning I could leave him in the house for several consecutive hours alone with confidence of no messes) by about 8 months old. He was 'good' about houstraining by 3-4 months. He is now 4 and hasn't had an accident since he was 8 months old.

Kane will be 1 year old next month. He hasn't had an accident in four months or more. It was rocky with him, but it seemed that overnight things just clicked and he figured it out. Once he figured it out, things have been a breeze.

We've only had Kobi for three days so it's far too soon to tell how things will go with him. However, we haven't had an accident yet! If only it would stay that way...*LoL*

We have two 3 month old puppies and I would say that they are reliably housetrained now.  We have not had any accidents in a couple weeks and they are pretty good about standing near the door if they want to go out.  However, we are pretty consistent about taking them out every 1 1/2 to 2 hours and I wouldn't trust them for a long period of time.  It will still be a long time before I trust them and consider them completely housetrained. 
 
Like what others said, I think the most important things are to limit the amount of freedom she has in the house and to make sure you take her out every hour consistently. 
 
You might want to try keeping her on a leash that is attached to you whenever she is out of her crate.  I personally haven't used this technique but some people I know have and they say it works really well.  If she is always attached to you, then you can always keep a close watch on her and you can catch her in the act.  My neighbor was having a horrible time housetraining her dog and the vet suggested this technique.  She did this for a couple days and that did the trick!  It's kind of a pain, but from what I hear it works wonders.   
 
Best of luck!

I was so very fortunate.  Willow had never lived in a house before but has never had one accident in the house other than when she was sick.  I never put her in a crate or anything either. 

I must have been extremely fortunate because Ash was brought home at 7 weeks old and she was potty trained within no more than 2 weeks. My boyfriend at that time and I would take her to go potty every 30 minutes. We didn't really give her the chance to have the urge to go. We also ALWAYS took her out about 5 minutes after she ate.We always took her to the same spot outside and we knew we had accomplished our goal when she woke us up at night to let us know she had to go. Ever since then she would just go sit by the door and whine and we knew. Not an accident since.

Lizzie was a tough nut to crack when we first got her. She came home at 8 weeks and even though I took her out side every 45min-1hour she would just sit and look at me, and we would be outside for 30 minutes and she would just lay down and go to sleep. As soon as we got in the house she would run off and squat somewhere else.
 
But the few times she actually went outside I would make it such a HUGE deal that she inventually got it that I would only reward going outside.
 
Shes now 5 1/2 months old and she is pretty reliable, though she has had 2 accidents. But shes getting better and better everyday!

It tok Malakai, my danetook  just a couple of weeks, he was completly house trained by 12 weeks of age..Chloe on the other hand took longer, not sure exaclty but it was much longer than Malakai

We got our dog, Chelsey, a female beagle , when she was 2 and a half months old. After 4 days, she was already asking for the door! We had tried those training mats for dogs, but she just used to rip them off the floor and play with them. She still occasionally has an accident, but it's very rare.

It only took us 3 days to housebreak Toby....  That being said, the breeder had already started potty training them. Toby knew that he was suppose to do his business on newspaper or outside on grass.

Tango took about 5-7 days to fully housebreak. She's never once had an accident in the house. Morgan took about a week and a half. She's had a couple accidents still, but not because she doesn't know she's supposed to go outside. That's only happened a few times though, and she's about 98% reliable right now but she's still a puppy. I don't remember how long it took to house break though,a s that was about 7 years ago. We got Winston as an adult and he was fully house broken.

Within 2 weeks Marley was housebroken...although...I'm not sure about reliably! I was always watching for sniffing just in case there was an indication there may be an accident.

I did a lot of research on Swissies, because we were going to get one...then this whole Labrador Retriever thing came up and look what we ended up with!

Anyway...in my research I found they were a little on the slow side...and difficult to train because of it. I hate to tell you this, but it may take your Swissy a little longer than the average dog to housebreak. My vet has 2 Swissies! He says that they are great dogs...but not too bright! They were bred to work. By that I mean pull things! Good Luck!

Hi,
 
 Dog training is usually a very difficult enterprise for dog owners trying to train their dogs at home without knowing exactly how to  go about it successfully. 
 
A well trained dog is a lovely companion and the desire of all dog owners. I tried and failed and got my self an ebook which was a great help. Today my Maisky is a dependable companion thanks to Daniel Stevens whose ebook got me through training my dog like a professional trainer at home.

It took me 2 months, when using a crate consistantly,  on a previous dog it took almost twice as long I think because I did not use a crate.
