can you potty train a 1,5 month dog?

So to answer your questions in order:

No its not too late to potty train her, shes really young and lots of dogs haven't even started at that point.

Your vet wasn't completely wrong but kind of, you can potty train her most likely by 3 months and even earlier if you're committed. My pup is almost completely potty trained and is only 13 weeks, he poops in the house maybe once a week at most and pees maybe twice a week.

And no purina junior dog isn't good dog food, its not terrible but its low quality, its pretty much the most "okay" dog food you can have, its not terrible but its not good either. If you want to stay on a budget atleast get purina pro plan for puppies, but if your willing to spend money put her on a Prey Model Raw Diet or use either of these to dog foods: Taste of the Wild, Blue Buffalo Evolutionary Diet.

Now here are some tips to potty training and how I did it, look into crate training, its by far the best and easiest/quickest method, it involves having your dog in a crate most of the time and only letting it out when you can supervise it, it might sound cruel but the dog will consider it its room within a couple days. What it does is teach the dog not to poop or pee in its area and how to hold it. If you don't want to do that, just take your pup out every couple hours on a consistent schedule and everytime it goes poop or pee outside praise it with treats and love. If you ever catch it in the act of peeing or pooping in the house give it a stern no and pick it up and bring it outside. If you ever find pee or poop in the house its already too late and bringing the dog back there and yelling at it will only cause it fear and it will have no idea that your yelling at it for pooping, it will just think you're yelling for no reason.

As Jojo says, at only 6 weeks, which is 2 too young to be away from his breeder btw, of course you can, and must, start to get on with the basics of housetraining. Puppies this young don't have much control over their bladders or bowels, and for sure, what goes in, has to come out, so the more meals the puppy is having, the more it will need to empty.

Your puppy CAN be taken outside provided you have a confined back area for him to go onto before he's finished his vaccination shots, which won't be for some weeks yet, given he's only 6 weeks, and external vaccination won't be started until he's at least 8 weeks, other than interim shots against Parvo and Leptospirosis if for some reason, he didn't take mum's first milk.

Clearly your vet has never owned a dog if he thinks it's going to take to 4 - 5 months before your puppy will be housetrained!! And as prevention is a huge part of successful housetraining, there's NO NEED for any puppy to be messing everywhere. None.

Personally I don't like that dog food - and for sure, your puppy should be eating the food he was weaned onto with his breeder! At least for a while until he's settled in with you, and you feel there's a need to switch.

Hitting bells - if only!!! And at 6 weeks !!!. Fact is YOU decide on the schedule your puppy needs, which means TAKING him outside every hour to begin with during the waking day, and at least once during the night. You simply CANNOT wait for a puppy this young to ask because HE WON'T!

Having a trained dog isn’t the same as having a balanced dog, but if your dog knows a few basic commands, it can be helpful when tackling problem behaviors — existing ones or those that may develop in the future. Learn here https://tr.im/zLXs2

So where do you start with dog obedience training? You could take a class, but it’s not necessary; you can do it yourself. In fact, with the right attitude, it can be fun for both you and your dog!

Step 1 : Sit

This is one of the easiest dog obedience commands to teach, so it’s a good one to start with.

• Hold a treat close to your dog’s nose.

• Move your hand up, allowing his head to follow the treat and causing his bottom to lower.

• Once he’s in sitting position, say “Sit,” give him the treat, and share affection.

Repeat this sequence a few times every day until your dog has it mastered. Then ask your dog to sit before mealtime, when leaving for walks, and during other situations where you’d like him calm and seated.

Step 2 : Come

This command can help keep a dog out of trouble, bringing him back to you if you lose grip on the leash or accidentally leave the front door open.

• Put a leash and collar on your dog.

• Go down to his level and say, “Come,” while gently pulling on the leash.

• When he gets to you, reward him with affection and a treat.

Once he’s mastered it with the leash, remove it — and practice the command in a safe, enclosed area.

Step 3 : Down

This can be one of the more difficult commands in dog obedience training. Why? Because the position is a submissive posture. You can help by keeping training positive and relaxed, particularly with fearful or anxious dogs.

• Find a particularly good smelling treat, and hold it in your closed fist.

• Hold your hand up to your dog’s snout. When he sniffs it, move your hand to the floor, so he follows.

• Then slide your hand along the ground in front of him to encourage his body to follow his head.

• Once he’s in the down position, say “Down,” give him the treat, and share affection.

Repeat it every day. If your dog tries to sit up or lunges toward your hand, say “No” and take your hand away. Don’t push him into a down position, and encourage every step your dog takes toward the right position. After all, he’s working hard to figure it out!

Pups cannot control their bladder and bowels at 6 weeks old but you can start pointing them in right direction by taking them outside every couple of hours and when they start scurrying about in circles and sniffing the floor indoors. Then you praise them well when they do their stuff outside. Your vet is not quite right about pups not being clean until 4-5 months old. With the correct trianing and vigilance on the part of the owner a pup can be clean by the age of 12-14 weeks old or even earlier, with maybe the odd accident once in a blue moon if it gets a bit of an upset tummy.

When you were two months old were you toilet trained in three days? Training takes time (6-18months), patience, consistency if done properly.
