How to Incorporate Dog Training Into Dog Play and Exercise!
- In all reality a puppies training starts at the breeders/shelter, before it ever gets to your home. A good breeder will work on teaching puppies to handle a variety of situations, and some will even start the potty training process. Training the puppy to fit into your life should start the second you get them home.
- It starts the moment you bring a puppy home. You call the puppy a name and he gets use to it that is one of training things you do so if he learns his name he is capable of training.
When I started training it started the moment we went home by going out to potty. that was the second step.
I never waited or I would end up with a stubborn dog. Start very early and it all works out so well.
The puppy learns what his name is, he learns where he sleeps and eats and even where to potty.
It is very easy. and good luck to you - Your question is a smart one! Most people consider dog training to be a one-time 6 week event that happens and then it's over. Being a Certified Dog Trainer, I can tell you that a professional training course is a very important part of the training process (especially for puppies), but I agree with everyone on this post that stated that training happens the moment you bring the dog into your life. There is an old saying a lot of us dog trainers use which is "whenever a dog and a human are in the same room together, someone is training someone."
That being said, look around your area for a puppy training/socialization class to join as soon as your vet gives you the green light. Your dog trainer will not only train your dog on the basics, they'll train you how to train your dog, in every day life, at home. It's also very important for your dog to be properly socialized in a well-managed environment.
Training them young is the best way to be sure that your puppy has positive experiences with other dogs and people, avoiding fear and aggression issues. It is much easier to train a puppy and raise a healthy, balanced dog than it is to rehabilitate an adult dog with issues.
On my website, I have a ton of information on puppies. Check it out when you get a chance and sign up your puppy once your vet clears your dog for class.

Good luck and have fun!
-Chad - birth ,
last timne o brought a pup home , it sat for food , and scraped the back door to go out ,
ans all this at 6 weeks of age .
oh , and before any one thinks about trying to cuss me , pups can leave there mum in the uk @ 6 weeks of age , not the 8 weeks you have in the states ,
guess we do things a lil different than some other places - Puppies need to start training as early as 3 weeks when they start to go potty without stimulation.
So really the pup should be training while its still with the breeder and continues once its in its new home. Training is life long, be consistent and be patient. - Right away! It doesn't need to be anything too intense or serious, simple things like teaching the pup his or her name & obeying a "come" command are easy & fun for puppies. It allows you to interact & bond with the new puppy at the same time.
- the minute the pup comes home it starts training. I can't wait to have it a month or two before I start housebreaking and basic obedience. I have 7 dogs under the age of 4.
- When you bring the puppy home, that day training starts! A dog is never too young or too old for training!
- At birth, the mother starts teaching the dog and you should continue
- as soon as you bring home
8 weeks for most
12 weeks for the small breeds - The same day you bring the new pup home.
- right now!from the beginning
