Day one is the best time to start - actually every interaction with the puppy should be a training opportunity.

My dogs (male and female, from same litter) are now 8 months old and walking them is becoming a real chore. They know I'm boss and do listen to me most of the time....................................but when walking on the lead they both pull like trains and if we see cat or another dog it takes all my strength to hold them. Any advice? | |||

You could try using a gentle leader collar or a pinch (prong collar) until they learn not to pull. Prong Collar -link- Gentle Leader -link- Good luck. [ Edited Wed Dec 30 2009, 07:03AM ] Gary -link- -link- |

Thanks for your answers.Yes,I should start training him by myself from day 1.But I mean,when he should start a training class.The trainer of a training class said that Cos should start training when they are 4 months old.What happens if a Co starts a training class at 6 months?Or 6 months?Can't he be trained by the trainer? | |||

Jack, You may have missed my point. You should train the dog yourself. You do not want a "trainer" messing up your dog. Most of them do not understand the CO and will use generic methods which could yield unsatisfactory results. You must be the one to handle your dog at all times. Gary -link- -link- |
