At what age do you start training a puppy?

Many owners, in particular inexperienced ones, having acquired a pet, ask themselves and those around them a lot of questions. One of them: “At what age can you start training a puppy?” or “How many months do you have to train a puppy?”

To give a correct answer to this question, you need to know the developmental features of the puppy.

The puppy’s memory is most sensitive from the 3rd to the 20th week, which means that you can start training a puppy from 1 month. And you need to start training a puppy before 5 months.

However, the question “from how many months do they start training a puppy” is not entirely correct. Puppy training begins the day the baby crosses the threshold of your house, no matter what age he may be at that moment. And training never ends, because both an adult and even an elderly dog ​​are happy to learn new things.

Remember that training is not drill, but a game, which means that no matter how many months you start training a puppy, you will not take away his childhood. On the contrary, his life will be more fun and varied, and you and your pet will learn to understand each other better.
