Dog Hand Obedience Signal Training

Dog training begins virtually at birth. Dogs that are handled and petted by humans regularly during the first eight weeks of life are generally much more amenable to being trained and living in human households.

Puppies can begin learning tricks and commands by this age; the only limitations are the pup's stamina, concentration, and physical coordination. It is much easier to live with young dogs that have already learned basic commands such as sit. Waiting until the puppy is much older and larger and has already learned bad habits makes the owner's training job much more difficult.

I can tell you a bit about the mechanics involved and what the training should do for you in the long run.

Dog Owner's Guide: Summary Topic List
The Dog Owner's Guide website was established in 1995 with 90 pages of material that previously appeared in the print edition.

Because of the differences between one-time print publication and constant access to the website, articles are updated regularly as new information becomes available.
