Good questions
Before you begin.
When is the right time to start?
Usually once the puppy has settled in at home and a vet has cleared outings. Early lessons are easier than undoing habits later.
How long should a puppy session last?
A few minutes at a time, repeated through the day. Young dogs tire quickly and learn best in short bursts.
Can I teach a puppy by myself?
Many owners do. A few lessons can still help you spot trouble early and keep your methods consistent.
Is it too late at six months?
Not at all. Adolescent dogs benefit from structure, and training can continue for life.
