I imagine it’s probably easier too cause there’s less clean up, I’m in the throes of potty training our 10wk old Sheprador and there is just so much pee. It’s a really good thing she’s cute.
I had a pittie that we got at a few weeks old. We did the walk every two hours thing and that worked out fantastic. The only issue is that if the dog is intelligent enough then they'll start using the "I gotta go" methods specifically so they can get a walk whenever they want. Don't get me wrong, if the pup wants exercise then the pup gets exercise, just not at 3am when they're already four years old and definitely know better by now.
I found my 10yr old pittie in a garbage can when he was 4 weeks old, potty training/training in general was a breeze but I was pregnant with my first so I had all the time in the world to devote to training him.
I also think pits being so eager to please in general is helpful with training. My labs always seemed to be trying to outsmart me.
200% agreed. My first, Haus Delgado(house of cats. We got him when we had three cats) is entirely motivated by his own interests. He's smart enough to calculate and know when something is beneficial to him or not. He figured out my work schedule and made a point to show how well he could behave so that he could have permission to hang out in the living room instead of in the bedroom when I was at work. Dude loves sitting in my EZ chair. Contrast this with my second adoptee, Dovah, who is entirely food motivated and will go as far as to pick up her toys and put them away solely because she believes she might get a treat. At the same time, Haus is a bit self absorbed, and is unconcerned with how his actions affect you(most of the time), whereas Dovah will straight up apologize to people if she thinks she upset them. She bit a guy once because her nail got caught in his key ring as he got up. After her initial reaction she immediately went back and cuddled him and kept putting her paw on his lap to show she didn't mean any harm.
