Rosie at 8 weeks. We bred her - recall training to the whistle started at 4 weeks and she’s spot on every time!
Puppy training - start them young but never put pressure on the pup as it will have the reverse effect and the pup will easily lose confidence.
Keep sessions very short and always end on a good note. I will do this exercise just a couple of times a day and then introduce something new when I feel she’s ready and I have no idea what the next exercise will be - she’ll tell me!
I will only use treats for a week or two (kibble taken out of her daily food allowance) as she’s just like her Mum - a word of praise and a little rub is all she wants.
First day of “training” - but for Rosie this is just fun! Kept very short but she understands “hup” onto the placeboard and sit. Her recall is fantastic - I can even call her away from her Mum.
