Training can start from the time you get your puppy (which if from breeder is normally around 8 weeks). Start off the basics like come, sit, okay and no and hold and leave. Once your puppy has reached 6 months, you can start to teach him more advanced commands. It is very important that you begin your training now so your puppy understands his place in the family pack... which is at the bottom! Installing this pack hierarchy early on will insure your puppy will develop into a happy dog and will reduce possible behavior problems in the future.
