If your puppy is old enough to bring home, he's old enough to start training. Let him acclimate to his new home and then begin with the basics.

yea as soon as their attention span has increased enough to actually absorb useful information. start doing it now but dont necessarily focus on the actual trick rather holding there attention. It took me a day and a half, two tops to teach my dog how to sit at ten weeks old. he was so wild he needed to learn something to save himself or mom would have got rid of him. Just remember that dogs need to be loved at all times so when he dose something you dont like tell him NO! and put him in a "time out" in the corner on a leash or in his crate covered wit a blanket so he cant see you. Never hit the dog it will make him agrressive towards you. and two never call him to you and then punish him, he wont trust you nor come when u call.

The sooner the better! If you teach them around 4-6 months, they learn a lot quicker. Also, if you're looking to train professionally take them before they're 6 months. They're still considered puppies at 6 months so it's cheaper. Once they're in the adolesent stage i.e. 7-12 months, they're more set in their ways.

Play with the domestic dog and bonding is the main needed element at this age. additionally, Retreviers stay youthful for an extremely long term! I certainly have a golden, who's 3 years and is finally settling down. he's been dealing with preparation because of the fact he grow to be 6 months. solid success....they're a great variety of exciting....and you may desire to be one step earlier to them in any respect circumstances!

You need to start at a young age. It is easyer for the dog and even you! Like the saying "You can't teach a old dog new tricks!" Even though you can. It will be harder! Much!

8 weeks no younger its allot easier to train them at a young age because when ya teach them to sit ya just drag a peace of food over there head and they loose there balance and automatically sit its brilliant lol
