I was worried about the same thing when I brought Bug home a week ago. He's 7wks old and the place I got him from had he and his siblings in a bedroom just going where and whenever they wanted. No schedule or restrictions. :( To my pleasant surprise he is VERY easy. As long as I keep up my end of the routine (taking him out regularly.. which is every hour, after he plays, drinks, naps and when I get home) he has no problem going outside like a good boy! If I don't hear him at night tho, or lose track of time he has no problem going inside or in his crate either but only if I ignore his attempts to tell me. He is learning that when he goes outside it makes me super happy lol it's really cute! I take him out, tell him "potty" and he'll go then AUTOMATICALLY start wagging his tail and running back to me because he knows he has done well! lol
Best of luck, just be persistant and have patience ~ not my strongest virtue either!
