It's not how smart the dog is; it's how educated the owner is about dog behaviour and training.
Your dog is no different than any other dog. Very regular schedule of feedings followed by long brisk walks for a good 30-40 minutes each walk will have the dog trained now. Include a few more quick pee breaks than you use the restroom during the day and you're good to go.
It really is that fast as long as you stick to it and move. Letting the dog out alone is not exercise to "move things along". They need the sights, sounds and smells of long and varied walks to empty out everything. Always scoop and you'll be a decent neighbor with a happy trained dog.
Dogs are individuals, so who knows how smart he/she will be. The library has many excellent books on the subject. Crate training is still the currant trend. Just remember it takes consistency, time and patience to train any puppy. And above all lots of love. Good luck!
