Answer

Okay, so the question is, how early should I start training my puppy? Great question. So, I get this question asked a lot. So, you could start training your puppy as early as 10 to 12 weeks old. Okay. Um, you know, I I there are some techniques to start working with your puppy to get them to understand who the pack leader is at an earlier stage like 8 weeks. Um, but it's it's a little more technical to try to describe that um specific type of training on on this call.

Summary

Frank Silva advised that puppy training can start as early as 10 to 12 weeks old, though they mentioned some technical techniques for 8-week-old puppies to establish the pack leader role. The first commands to teach a puppy are "come," "sit," and "down," utilizing treat luring, which involves using a treat and body movement to guide the puppy, for instance, causing their bottom to go down to teach "sit".
