I have a 9 month old male he was/still kinda is a pain when it come to training & his behavior was horrible untill I brought my new female dachshund home. Now he listens more but I still want to basic train them. I was wonderin whats the best age to train them and I was wonderin as the older they the more wiser & calmer they get?

My pups went to puppy obedience classes when their first shots were completed and it was very helpful for their socialization. Your dog is a great age to start. The training treat will depend on what your dog likes best. Pet stores even sell tiny training treats but my dogs didn’t like those. They loved freeze dried liver which I gave them in tiny pieces. One of them loved the doggie “yogurt drops”.
The sooner you start training, the easier they will be to handle as they get older. So I’d stay, find a trainer now! Have fun!
wow 9 mths. i start at 10 weeks lol
hot dogs work wonders. chop them up ,into small bites,
if you let the dog miss,a meal, he will respond,much better
to training , try this , pick up his food bowl, put a little food ,in the bowl ,so he hears it , then ask him to sit , if he sits feed him a treat , then put down the bowl , he will soon get the message ,if i sit ,i get a treat , the sit ,stay , down ,come , .takes about one week,per command,
it just take time , if you work at his training ,say 10 mins per days, he will learn real fast , dont do any more than this time ,
he still a puppy , good luck
I have a Dachshund and he loves the training treats called Nature’s Recipe they are bite sized treats that I bought from Petsmart.
I have a 6 year old daxie and she is a doll. you should always train your dogs the minute you get them…its always easier to ward off bad behaviour from the start than to let them get away with it and then its so much harder to break. I found that murph is easier to train now than when she was little, but that is with most breeds I think. they do calm down with age…good luck and enjoy them!
The best age in my opinion is as young a posible, this prevents behavioral problems from becoming unmanageable. I am a dog trainer and I started all of my own dogs as soon as I got them. One was only six weeks old and she could sit, lie down and stay in as little as three days. In my business we start the dogs at ten weeks of age and after they have had their second set of shots. The sooner the better! The training treats I use for every dog is Pro-Treat all natural 100% beef liver treats. I haven’t found a dog yet who denied them. They are low in fat and the dogs love them.
i started my shar pei the day i brought him home. its easier to teach a dog whats allowed n not allowed right off the bat then it is to break old habbits.. So start ASAP.. yeah they mellow with age but they are only as smart as u teach them to be.. start the training right away and be consistant with it with both of them. i have trained many dogs over the years both big and little. if u have any Q email me i will help u the best i can
The earlier you start the easier “training” is on you and the dog. Training is not all about teaching the dog the correct behavior. Rather, basic training is also teaching you the right way to communicate and command your dog. You can always teach an old dog new tricks, it just takes a lot longer!
If your dog is very active or doesn’t listen well, I’d suggest investing in private dog training (rather than the group setting). I used a private dog trainer for my lab and found that within 2 visits I was “master”, my dog already knew the basics, and I didn’t know how to ask properly!
