When it comes to raising a puppy, time is not measured in years or even months. A dog breeder must have time to instill the best qualities in their pet within the first few weeks.

It is believed that at this time the dog is open to contact with humans and the chances of raising an obedient and well-behaved pet increase many times over.

Therefore, experts advise starting to train a dog as early as possible.

How to Train a Dog

1. You can safely start as soon as the dog is 3-4 weeks old.

Until the age of 14 weeks, they remain maximally open and actively explore their environment.

2. At this time, the pet needs to be introduced not only to the house, but also to the environment outside of it and, of course, to people.

It is important that these are people of different ages and genders, so that the dog does not have problems with contact in the future.

3. Be sure to provide your puppy with the opportunity to interact with other animals.

But there is one important condition: the animals must be healthy and vaccinated.

4. Do not isolate your dog from outside noises.

Your pet should learn to react normally to city noise, doorbells, household appliances, and so on.

5. Finally, don't forget to find a specialist who can train your dog and give you a few lessons if you have no experience.
