I have a 2 month old lab puppy my husband just got me about a week ago (a week and a few days). I was wondering when you should start noticing definete progress in housebreaking. I don't really expect much from her now (if she goes outside when we take her out I'm THRILLED). It just seems that she will go potty every five minutes, in or out of her crate. I don't like keeping her crated all the time so when I give her time out in the kitchen to run and play she just goes to the bathroom all the time. Even if I put her in her crate she will still go potty. She is in a cat carrier right now, it's just a tiny bit to big for her (but she's growing into it). It's not big enough where she can get away from her potty though. I was just wondering about when do pups show improvement in housebreaking. It's different for every dog, I'm sure though.
