Rich is exactly right. About 2-3 months old is a great time to start training. The old axiom about teaching old dogs new tricks is right, the younger you start the better off you and the dog are. At that age they won't be spending much time daily with teaching, probably only 15 to 30 minutes at a time, but its a great age to get them started. I trained a Rottweiler in guard dog ( Schutzhund ) for personal use myself and started him at that age. He responded very well and was the best and smartest dog I ever worked.
