Puppy Training FAQs

How long does it take to train a puppy?

Training is a lifelong experience for most dogs. Start with training the moment you bring home your puppy and expect them to understand what you are asking for and respond accordingly by 6 months of age.

But the active and intelligent dog needs ongoing teaching, and most dogs are still learning more through 2–3 years of age.

When do I start puppy training classes?

Puppy training classes depend on the goals you have for your dog and the requirements of the facility (which will ask for proof of certain vaccines before admitting your puppy to school). Most puppies can start puppy socialization by 8 weeks of age and actual training classes by 12–16 weeks.

What’s the first thing you should teach your puppy?

In the early days, there are a lot of skills that your puppy needs to learn and often these are all taught at the same time. The first cue many people will teach their dogs is to “watch”—in other words, we want them to make eye contact with us when we say their name or use the command “watch.” That way, we know they are focusing on us and what information we are trying to convey.
