The ideal period for dog training

Dogs are very docile pets. Many people choose to keep dogs as companions. However, raising a dog is not easy. The subsequent series of peeing, peeing and chewing can make people feel crazy. In fact, dogs are like children, they need to be taught before they can understand what is right and what is wrong. But dogs are different from people. People can’t communicate well with dogs if they don’t understand dog language. At this time, they need to use some movement reflexes to let dogs understand what it means. So at what age should dogs be best trained? Okay?

The best age for dog training is 3-6 months.

Young dogs have not developed fixed living habits. Whether they are good or bad, their personalities and living habits are like a blank sheet of paper. Moreover, puppies at this time are full of curiosity and desire to explore the outside world, and their ability to accept and remember is also the strongest. Puppies in this period can accept the training content the fastest and develop habits at the same time.

Training a pet dog should start from an early age. If the dog is allowed to have freedom when it is young and it develops bad living habits, it will be very difficult to change it when the dog grows up.

Lay a solid foundation and proceed step by step

When training puppies, you should start with simple behavioral habits and life attitudes. As the dog slowly grows up and its body is fully developed, it will transition to skill training, such as jumping, running, etc.

The most important thing is to lay a good foundation. First, carry out obedience training such as walking and sitting. Your dog will get used to listening to your instructions. If you give it other instructions in the future, it will naturally be able to master them well because of its intelligence.

Go step by step, try to break down the steps as detailed as possible, and learn step by step. Every time your dog successfully performs an action, you must encourage it and repeat the training many times until it is proficient.

Phases of training

3-5 months: Basic etiquette and obedience training. For example, sitting, lying, standing, leaning, following the movement, barking, waiting, shaking hands, urinating at fixed points, refusing to eat, etc.

6-8 months: Can carry out low-intensity running and jumping training.

8 months to 1 and a half years old: Some professional obstacle training can be carried out.

Missed the best training period?

In fact, dogs of any age can be trained. However, compared with training from puppyhood, it takes more physical strength and more patience.

Haste makes waste. For older dogs, the first step is correction, followed by training. The above is an introduction to the best age for dogs to receive training. I wish you all a happy time with your dogs.
