Michelleva Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 We're adopting a sheltie puppy when we get back from holidays in a couple of weeks. She'll be 16 weeks old when she arrives, is she old enough to start dog obedience. I've checked the website of the club I want to join but its not mentioned anywhere. This club doesn't offer puppy preschool type set ups, just obedience, agility and that sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she's had her vaccinations (which she should've by 16 weeks) yes, she's old enough to be taken to a club for obedience training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelleva Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 Cool, thats what I was hoping. I have emailed the club but had no response yet. A friend took her dog there and said it was really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvsablue Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Hi Mich & Jake I adopted Beckie at 17 weeks old and she was more than ready to learn basic obedience. Have fun with your lucky puppy. luvsablue & Beckie the Blue Dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelleva Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 Thanks Beckie, it looks like we'll be able to start about a week after getting her home, I can't wait. I've never done any form of dog obedience before, so I'm eager to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelleva Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 Thanks Terra Nik, I have no problem asking for help if I need it. The breeder is also available if I need help with anything too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
