i would start as soon as possible…. all puppys need is their shots… they don’t even have to be fixed…. normally shots are finished by 4-5 months so sign up!!!!

Sadly, the best time to train is between 5-10 weeks, but because a puppy should not leave its mother and litter until 8 weeks and puppies are at such risk of catching an illness, most places will not train until puppies are 10 weeks and at least 2 series of vaccinations.
When my dog has a litter next fall, I plan on training the puppies before they go to their new homes! Advantage of being a trainer, as well as a breeder!
And FYI to DOG GROOMER 4 20 YRS: Petsmart does not allow puppies to enroll until they are 10 weeks old and have had two sets of vaccinations!
As soon as your old enough to be able to roll up some news paper and beat the living crap out of your dog.
I once had a dog that I even trained him to read the newspaper that way. Kinda funny thing though, it seemed he could only read the paper that I’d pick up which had headlines which read,
“Fierce Master Storm System, Ready To Beat & Pound The Coast”
I swear he could read it, cuz as soon as I’d pick it up, he’d start running as fast as he could. Of course, that wasn’t very fast. As a matter of fact, it wasn’t really running, not after that one really big storm anyway. The one that broke all those records……..and bones.
Call a local Petsmart. They have Puppy K classes that start your pup off right! Puppies can start learning sit, down, stay, off, leave it, and other things as early as 8 weeks if you are consistent and work with them everyday. Just keep sessions short, fun, and positive.
Any age, its a common falacy that older dogs, can’t or wont learn. Early puppy classes are good for socialization. Your dog has to have all of it’s shots to enter a group class.
Start training your puppy in puppy classes. 3 months is fine. No reason to wait as long as your dog is fully vaccinated.
probaby when they are puppys maybe 6 months this is when they are mosy playful probobly just trick them into having fun when your training them
I bought a book when I first got my puppy at age 6 weeks. She is the most obedient dog I’ve ever seen. I never took her anyplace just learned from a book I got at Pet Smart. Look at all the money i saved!!!
When the dog is a little puppy.
