Easiest dogs to potty train...
One of the reasons why some puppies end up in animal shelters is soiling in the house. Rarely will you find a homeowner that entertains a pet who won’t stop messing up his rugs and carpets, the fact that the owner is normally to blame seems neither here nor there to some of them.
In my view they shouldn’t have pets in the first place. Still as you are reading this, I am going to assume that YOU are not one of those people and that you have your pets’ best interests at heart and are willing to put in the time and effort it needs to help potty train your furry little friend.
What age should a dog be potty trained?
The best time to start potty train your dog is when he is between 3-6 months old (that’s just 12 to 24 weeks).

Even by this young age they should have enough control of their bladder and bowel to learn how to hold on, or at least go to where they are allowed to poop. An alert eye from you and consistent encouragement with gentle reinforcement as you teach them will get them from messing on the carpet to finally messing outside.
Patience and persistence will get you there
