Start Training?

by Lila
(Bangalore, India)

At what age can a cocker spaniel start training, especially potty training?

Mine is 6 weeks old and I'm beginning to worry that I've left it too late. He already has preferences - only the living room and kitchen - NOT any of the places I take him to!

Even after a nap, he waits until I lose patience and let him into the hall.

Please help.

You can begin training puppies as early as four or five weeks old - sometimes earlier. It depends upon the puppy.

But, trust me, it's not too late to begin training your puppy.

I recommend you begin socializing your puppy sooner rather than later. Read the article to understand why it's important, and what you need do.

We have lots of tip and advice on potty training a puppy and cocker puppy obedience training to help you with your puppy training.

You'll need a little patience and understanding, but you will get there in the end.

Best of luck!
