How many months does it take to properly train a puppy to learn the basics?

When I was growing up, my mom and dad never trained our dogs, so they had free reign to do what they wanted. We didn't have a fenced in yard, so we let them out the front door and they pretty much kept to our house...well, mostly.

And then when I got my own dog, I didn't train her except to "sit". I guess if I get another dog, I would want more training, but how long would that take?
 
I don't think that you can put a time limit on that.
I'd say that it all depends on how 'smart' or 'stupid' the dog is; some people generalize this by breed......like it takes a lab puppy two years of training before they 'learn' to stop digging holes in the yard or under the fence. ??????????????? I disagree with that idea, I think it depends on the individual dog.
AND the training method(s) used.
