Finding Careers in Dog Training



Recommended Answer:
You can start training the pup as early as like 5 months. Studies show you can even train them as newborn pups like get their senses more active such as tickling their soft paws and letting them walk around the backyard. Best age is early on though.

Traditional Dog Training Versus Positive Reinforcement Dog Training - A Comparison


  • You can start training the puppy the day that you bring it home. Young puppies can learn to sit, down and come on command. Housetraining is the major form of training on new puppies. He can start learning household rules. He be started in crate training. He can learn to wear a collar and walk on a loose leash. He can also start being socialized as long as he has had some vaccinations. You have until the pup is 16 weeks old to train the pup that learning is fun, that new places are fun, and that life is fun. What you are doing at these young ages is teaching the pup to learn. They are like a sponge between the ages of 7 and 16 weeks. Make sure that you take advantage of this wonderful age. Keep your training sessions very short and very positive.

  • By 8-10 weeks you can start training simple things like sit. Just keep the sessions very short. They don't have much of an attention span at that age.

    You can also begin potty training. By now they should also have begun pooping and peeing away from their sleeping space for a few weeks, so it's not too early.

  • I Think, U should take your puppy friend on a walk everyday from day one
    on that walk, you should go a little ways and then stop, and brig your dog into a sitting positoin and say "Sit!" so he/she relises what they are doing, evan if your dog sits on its own still say sit, because once again, its no good if they dont relise what they are doing. Then a couple meatres later try a nother trick and put your dog in that position
    same rules apply. If you take your dog for a lot of walks , Than you might wanna take heel as a trick, cross the road and as you do say "Heel" Hope this Traning method helps!

    Tips: as your puppy progreses, Dont always place Him or Her in That positoin, just for starters to give them some clue.
    After word, at the end of your walk give him/ her a treat, i take mine to a meadow where they can be let lose (dont let yours lose unless they will come to your calling)

  • you want to start training your dog at the immediate time you get it. if it is older you may need to enroll in obedience classes. i've never tried it myself but i here clicker training is the best.
    good luck!!

  • before you even bring them into your house for the first time.

    they should be taken for a walk around your neighbourhood to acclimate them to it, before even going inside the house.

  • as early as 2 months..how old is your dog?

  • As soon as you take him home, you need to start at an early age. Keep sessions to 5-10 minutes long though, or the dog will get bored.

  • As soon as you get them.

    If you mean formal classes then as soon as they clear their shots.
