Is it too late to say don't do it?

I had two 6 weeks apart and housetraining was worse because of it. Just paln on walking the two of them ALL the time?
I think they are VERY young to be fully houstrained, even individually. Take a look around this section of the forum to see how long you can expect a pup to be able to "hold it".
I did this; One was fully trained by 6 months, the other by 10 months. :oops:

My Tonks picked up pretty early on house training; but everyone is right; you can't expect this breed to be able to "hold it" that young. Tonks was good about asking to go out at 3 months, and by 6 months had no more in house accidents. Her sister Luna was another story completely. We didn't realize that she never learned to ask to go out; she'd just go when Tonks did. And for whatever reason Luna (also significantly smaller than Tonks back then) could not hold it as long as her sister. So Luna was having pretty frequent in house accidents.

The answer for us was to get a bell for the door. Once Luna associated needing to go out with ringing the bell, it came together very quickly.
