Yes, you can certainly start housetraining Peaches now :) Most dogs will start to give a signal on their own as they get older, but this won't happen until she has developed a strong preference for doing her business outside - usually not until 6-8 months of age, or even older. Until then, you just have to take her out frequently to help prevent accidents.
