Dog Training Basics - Important Tips to Remember

Recommended Answer:
At 8 weeks it is not training, it is imprinting. It is done with maybe a little treat or a favorite toy, depending on the dog. At his age he has the attention span of a flea, so imprinting is done in 3-4 minute intervals 2-3 times a day. That is a general piece of advice and a lot of it will depend upon your dog and your skills, but, you get the idea. Good luck.

• use dog treats and start easy like show th dog the treat and tell it to sit and help it


• I wouldn't do anything but basic manners right now. You don't train dogs commands until they reach puberty.


• only train him for a couple of minutes a day. dogs are smart. it only takes a few minutes to teach them something new. then do it over and over, daily....but only a few times. make sure you reward him everytime. even if its a joyful pat on the head and a happy holler. he will understand and he will enjoy your praise and want it again.


• little and often be consistant make him do what u are askin before treat www.dogproblems.com has loads of info good luck "be good little doggy" lol


• 8 weeks? hes kinda young, but at 6 months you can take him to class once a week(about an hour class)
  then practice 15min. a day at home.


• Yeah Greekman.
  
  Play with your puppy!!
  
  You could "train" him to play with a ball, he might even bring it back if you got lucky.
  
  Sit. 30 seconds would work for most puppies.
  Come. 2-3 times.
  
  That's about it.
  
  I've started puppies this young to start to track, but it's a total game.
