Like humans, dogs can learn new things at any stage of their life , however, it is true that in their youth they absorb information faster. But be careful because starting too soon with high expectations can cause frustration.
The ideal age to start basic training is from 3, 4 months and up to 2 and a half years. After the 3rd year the dog already has more defined habits and training will consist of correcting as well as instructing.
It is best to start with the call and limits inside the house to satisfy their needs such as peeing, pooping or releasing energy. With these bases, our furry friend will be able to function in his usual environment more freely and in tune with the rhythm of the home.
What should I know before training my dog?
Before starting any training and even before thinking about having a pet as a companion animal, it is essential to understand that having a dog at home is adding another member to the family , and therefore we must know that both he and we We will have to adapt to a new way of life.
For example, the new puppy will have to adapt to the family's schedule to go out for a walk and in turn the family will have to adapt to having enough time so that the dog can meet its needs; He will also have to get used to being alone on those days when everyone has to go out to work and in turn we will have to organize ourselves to return at a reasonable time before the dog becomes frustrated by spending so much time alone without company.
