Trainer Insight
Five-month-old puppies are still learning how household rules, obedience, and daily routines work. Starting early allows families to establish clear expectations before inconsistent habits become more difficult to change.
Potty training also depends heavily on routine and consistency at home. Structured schedules, supervision, and clear communication can support progress, while foundational obedience gives a young puppy additional skills to rely on as she matures.
