On average, how long does it normally take until my puppy is housetrained? Her breeder pee pad trained her but I want her to go outside.

It can take a few months to have them completely house broken, I would consider crate training to speed up the process. Make sure the crate is big enough for her to stand and turn around but not so big that she can sleep in one corner and pee/poop in the other corner. I will attach a link for more details on crate training. I have found this and stick to a strict routine are the best ways to speed up the training process. I hope this helps! https://www.petco.com/content/petco/PetcoStore/en_US/pet-services/resource-center/new-pet/Puppy-and-Dog-Crate-Training.html
