You know, I would have said that too, Before Lliira. :-) I've housebroken lots of puppies, no problem, and was feeling quite smug about it until my Pyr pup came along and showed me the error of my thinking. You are absolutely right that most of the time, with most pups, knowledge of development, anticipation, etc., can create a well trained set of housemanners; I will say, for those who might have a Lliira in the house, sometimes a puppy comes along to confound even a good and successful system.
