Dog Health Questions: Is 13 old enough to get my son started in dog training?

My son has been going to the fights with me since he was 5 and he absolutely loves watching the dogs perform. I have not got him into the training side of it yet because I always thought he was to small to control a dog. Now that he is older though he will not stop begging me to teach him how to train them. Do you think a 13 year old is responsible enough to train.

You want to know if a bunch of strangers on YA think you should allow your 13 year old child to train fighting dogs? No. I do not. I do, however, think that you should be shot with thousands of bean bag rounds.

Dog Training Tips - Equipment Needed

• Hi ,
  
  After having dogs all my life, I have found that dog training is as individual as teaching a child the alphabet. Dogs have their own mind and learn in different ways just as humans. I did find this site (http://www.dog-training-schools.org) that has many helpful videos, products and articles related to dog training that may be helpful to you in deciding which way is best to train your dog.


• Yes definitely. 13 is a good age to teach your child how to train his dog :)


• I believe that he is old enough to train. Make sure he understands the dangers and safety precautions involved in training. You might want to supervise him at first to make sure.
