I now every one got their own ways of training etc, i was just woundering what age do you all start your pups off?

TBH mate it can vary depending on breed & the every dog is different to the next... but be patient you will know when your dog is ready, you wouldnt send a child too do a mans work.

Start basic training and stock breaking as soon as they've had their jabs and usually around 10months start slowly introducing them but that's just a guide all pups are different you just need to play it by ear

as its a wide open question an no right or wrong anser youl get alot of difrent replys. im not one to "leave a pup be a pup, start working on it when its 12-18 months old". hear lots of lads do it this way. i belive get them out and about from day dot, let them see stock , socialize, get them out in motor urly aswell. i like to start basic training, ie siting, staying, retriving, from as urly as 10-12wks, the urlyer you programe the pup with comands, the easyer as it will get older, it will be like second nature. by the time a pup of mine has rached 7 or 8 months old, it will have been ferreting from 4months old, it will be stock broke, jumping, and all the other basic comands should all be upto scratch, if i think the pup is ready, and all the basics are spot on, i will then introduce it to the lamp , picking the runs very carefully, more often than not, holding back on slipping the pup, i like to get them wanting to chase, rather sicken them with running their feet off. anyway, hope thats enough you can take some advice from. all the best

tbh i dont no where to start with him, when we are out he does recall and thats about it when he comes back hes like someing on speed even with a meat bribe, i have had him out on the lamp an all he done was wine when my bitch was on a run, on the plus side he is showing interest in the rabbits she brings back. so i hope this is a good sign and hes just doing what a young dog does.

[craig09090 11]

much better last night seems like hes calming down a bit and starting to do some basics for me
