Newly adopted puppies should not be rushed into training because they are unfamiliar with the home environment and are still too young with underdeveloped bodies. Training actions at this time can easily cause injuries and are difficult for the puppy to remember. So, when does dog training start by months? This is a question many friends are concerned about. Below, let’s learn about it together.

1. Start training after seventy days of birth

When does dog training start by months? For puppies, it is recommended to start training after seventy days of birth. Generally, the period from three months to eight months is the easier period for training. This period must be seized. Starting training at this time will be much easier and less troublesome. Due to differences in dog breeds, intelligence, and other factors, learning speeds vary, so be patient during training and let the puppy gradually be trained to develop good habits.

2. Potty training

At three months, you can start potty training first, beginning with cultivating regular urination and defecation habits. The dog will usually relieve itself half an hour after each meal, fifteen minutes after drinking water, and after waking up each time. At these times, take the dog to the toilet promptly. Guidance is needed at the beginning, but once familiar, the dog will go regularly. Additionally, prepare a fixed place as the toilet by placing newspapers soaked with dog urine there, so the dog will know where to go.

3. Higher intensity action training

After a dog is half a year old, more intense action training can begin, such as obstacle crossing and running-jumping training. For obstacle crossing training, start by training with the dog. Issue the command "jump" when preparing to cross the obstacle and cross together. Reward after completion. Running and jumping training requires luring the dog to a high place with food and then having the dog jump towards the food. If the dog successfully performs the action, food can be used as a reward.

The above is the introduction about dog training actions divided by months. During the dog training process, be sure to divide different subjects according to the dog's age. Training at the appropriate time period will achieve the best results. Interested friends can try training their own dogs according to the above methods.
