Training starts between 8 - 16 weeks
The most crucial age point to start training a puppy is typically between 8 and 16 weeks of age. This period is often referred to as the "critical socialization period" and is a prime time for puppies to learn and adapt to their environment, other animals, people, and various stimuli. During this stage, puppies are highly receptive to new experiences and can quickly form positive associations with social interactions and learning.
Early training and socialization during this critical age can help puppies develop into well-adjusted, confident, and well-behaved dogs. It's important to start with basic training, positive reinforcement techniques, and socialization to expose the puppy to different people, animals, environments, and experiences. Consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement are key during this period to set a solid foundation for a lifetime of learning and good behavior.
