Are Shar Pei easy to housebreak and train?
Yes. Some people think that Shar Pei are the easiest dogs to housebreak. It isn’t unusual for an 8 week old puppy to “ask” to go outside. Patience and persistence is the key and you should be able to housebreak your Shar Pei puppy in a week. Puppies need to go outside first thing in the morning, after eating, when they wake up from naps and after playing. Approximately every 2 – 4 hours when they are awake. Always take your Shar Pei puppy out the same door and to the same location while housebreaking, so they will understand quickly where to go and why. Some 8 week old Shar Pei puppies can sleep through the night and not need to go outside as often. Shar Pei are very clean dogs and will not want to soil their homes. And they are highly intelligent and eager to please their family.
