Question
How long does it take to housbreak a pup?  We've had our pup for two months.  She's nearly six months old.  How long does it take?

Answer
some dogs get it in a few days, others a year or more. You can shorten the period bhy effective training methods. potty first AM, every 2 hours, immediatly before and after meals, and at bed time. Take the dog out on a lead, give it praise and reward (tiny treat) when it goes.
