| He should still be with his mom until 12 weeks and after that he should not be around or at areas where other dogs and wildlife go until two weeks after his last set of shots. Then at that point I would make sure the vet has checked his knees for Luxating Patella to know if it is safe for him to jump and stuff.

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | The first good sport is the art of obedience training done within the home first, then your backyard. Next is the art of accepting touch all over his wee body, and soft very soft brushing, and accepting nail trimming. Your puppy should have his full set of puppy shots before going out into the wider world. Building toy drive at home is wonderfull. Get a selection of toys, plush, firmer, harder selections, and mayhap different shapes; and get down on the floor and play with him with his toys. Teach him to focus on you. Build the foundations of basic obedience, easy walking on the lead, come, leave it, sit, stay, stop and just about any wonderfull sport is open to you and your pup. Some sports are best done when boney growth plates have closed, and muscle mass has also developed. But there are so many great sports to enjoy with your dog.

| Try Rally Obedience. It's a lot of fun and low stress and all the stuff you learn can be applied to everyday life with your dog. You can start training a dog at any age. Just keep it low impact for a puppy and no jumping. Last edited by Sharonmarlow; 05-30-2014 at 10:36 AM. |
