Our dog took almost six months. She knew what to do but kept having accidents. It turned out she had picked up a bug called coccidia that gave her the runs occassionally and slipped past the vet on her first exam. (The stomach troubles come and go with this bug, so she would be really good for a week, then have accidents for a couple days, then be good for another week. She kept eating strange things like books and fuzz off tennis balls so it was easy to assume she was having problems because she ate something funny.) A round of anti-biotics and she was stopped having accidents and did her business out of doors.
