With kids, you get parents wanting them do do this or that at 3 or 4 years old. and they becomr absolutely distraught if Johnny next door is tying his laces, or spelling his name before their own little Kevin. The reality is that -with a bit of encouragement - they can ALL tie their laces and spell their names before they get to 8 or 9. Likewise with dogs. Everyone is in a fearful hurry. Fine to play around teaching a 10 week old pup to chase you when called, but at the end of the day it's far easier to train a dog at 5-6 months than it is at 3-4 months. They're that much older and grasp what I expected if them that much quicker. If it's any guide, I used to train border collies pretty successfully for farmwork and trialling. and I never bothered teaching a dog much more than its name until it was about 7 months old. For one thing it saved a lot of unnecessary running and shouting! As you said, spend the interim time getting to know each other... Best reply’s yet 2 Quote Link to post

That's bollocks! You know full well I sent you (at your request) my last training manual 'uncle Nob's training pups with electricity - for ages from 4 weeks to 4 months' You're such a fibber! 1 Quote Link to post

I started mine from about 3 month little bit of retreiving each day, little bit of jumping, just take ya time its not rocket science to be honest just dont rush it be patient Quote Link to post
