2 weeks, accidents still happened after that but they were usually my own fault. But it took 2 weeks for her to understand to go outside n make an effort to not potty in the house.
I don't know if I was lucky or just more obsessive about watching my dogs when they were puppies, I never had a single accident in the house other than when my very first puppy had diarrhea in the middle of my livingroom and that's when I saw he had worms. Mind you I saw them from my position of standing on the couch screaming in disgust as the worms were still moving. Fortunately, I have never had a single episode of worms since.
They were about 6 mos old before I trusted them loose in the house at night uncrated and unsupervised in the house while I was home.

Lovella, With pups it is a good idea to take them out in intervals (even when they are pretty good at telling you they need to go out) for at least the first few months you have them. I have done this with all my GSD pups and it works every time. Also, when the pup is in the house you need to keep a watchful eye on him at all times so that if he starts sniffing about or circling or whatever your dog does that alerts you, you can take him out. The more diligent you are, the faster your dog will learn & become reliable.

I got my pup at 6 weeks so he was 8 weeks when he would go sit at the door. He understood that outside was the place to potty. Many times, however, he'd be so interested in something that the urge to pee would catch him unaware and he'd have an accident. He knew where to go but it was up to me to pay attention and take him out at intervals.
By 3 months he could hold it long enough to get to the door and wait to go outside.
