Default RE: training my dog

You can start training her right away. What you want to train her for at this age though, isn't hunting stuff. I would focus on the house breaking, come, heal, sit, etc. Remember she is very, very young and the attention span of a dog this young is almost non-existant. Keep whatever you are trying to teach in short sessions and keep it fun. Let your dog learn what to do with her nose and play. There will be plenty of time later to train her on the technical stuff. I try to keep it fun for about the first year and then really hit the training. One final thing. Do not be too tough on your dog regarding punishment at this age. When the training intensifies so should the punishment. My opinion, but it has worked for me. Good luck.
