This question is asked very often. The answer is very simple — on the day when the puppy stepped into your house.
After all, what is training is not just the development of certain behavior for certain commands. Training is crafting of the behavior, lifestyle and habits of our dog that we, the owners, need.
From the earliest canine childhood, we develop in our puppies a desire to cooperate with humans and a love of joint activity. After all, these are the things with that any cohabitation of ours with the dog begins.

Often dog owners think that the puppy should be allowed to play enough, to gain strength, before starting to burden him with classes. In fact, while our tomboy is enjoying childhood, habits and behaviors in the family and on the street are being formed. By not educating him at this time, you are contributing to the perpetuation of the misbehavior.
The dog itself cannot find the correct way to realize its energy, which it has a lot in childhood, and begins to direct it where it needs to — to gnaw furniture, chase other dogs and cats, bite on clothes, bark with or without reason. And the longer the puppy is allowed to behave like this, the harder and longer it will take in the future to work to change already established habits.
It is more correct and easier to form the correct habits of a new family member by yourself from the first days when he appears in our house. Therefore, the most competent thing is to contact the future trainer even before the dog appears in the house and receive several recommendations on raising the puppy and the schedule of attending classes.
Of course, it is easier to teach a puppy to behave according to certain rules than an adult dog, which has already formed both the demeanor and attitude towards the owner’s commands. But the right classes, in which the instructor will teach you to reveal the abilities of the four-footed students, will always benefit both the dog and the owner.
