What is the earliest age of puppy can you start this???

I started as soon as he started pulling hard...about 5 months (a month ago). He still rubs on the grass when we first start, but he stands to have it put on, and once we get going he forgets about it...

This is considered a 'training' tool and meant for dogs that pull excessively. The prime time for puppies to learn proper walking/heel starts at 3 months. Their attention span is shorter the younger they are but if you work with them for 5 minutes three times a day with a regular chain collar and leash they should get the hang of it. Obedience school is best after 6 months when they can truly benefit from a class situation and a qualified trainer. However not all dogs 'get' the collar with leash and are pullers which can be dangerous for both the owner and dog. My puppy was in this group. So I contacted the local SPCA which is where I adopted her and booked time with their trainer. Don't overlook the local animal shelters and their wonderful resources. The trainer felt due to my situation and my puppy's that the gentle leader would be the best trainer for her. She worked slowly getting her accustomed to it, don't rush it or else they may never accept it. By the end of the hour, my 9 month old puppy was walking with the leader and within a week we were both enjoying shopping trips to Lowe's and Petsmart without either of us yanking or falling. Its a wonderful tool for certain situations and the trainer I used offered to ween her of the leader when she was ready to walk on a regular leash and collar. Don't give up on your puppy if they are 'perfect' right away, they all need to learn in their own time. And the only way they learn is from their owners.

A 20 month old could play with dog, but not use the leash (it's like a remote control). Furreal has a horse Butterscotch (I think) that you can feed a carrot to and it moves, etc. Would probably be more fun at this age.

I think any age is a great age to try good dog techniques. Always consult with professionals and go to training, the sober te better!

My opinion...the toy would be too small. We have a 6 month old english setter, she is 38 lbs and we have the large, it fits her just right. My nephews 90 lb lab was over the other day and didn't pay any attention to it. But the price is right if you really want to try it, sells in stores for twice what amazon sells it for. It is fun to watch our pup play with it, but I think she is losing interest in it also. hope this helps.

Depends on what kind of dog you have I Guess. I have a small Australian Shepherd and at 7 months she runs all over with it...can even catch it in mid air at times. She loves it. Hope this helps

Its good for a puppy or small dog such as a chihuahua. For a puppy I had to change the pad about 4 times a day till they got older. I also take my dogs outside. This was used while I was at work puppies can hold it an hr for every month plus an hr. So 4 months of age 5 hrs. Now my chihuahuas are almost a yr they can hold it. They go outside at 7am and 4pm n and again at 9pm. They only use the pads if its dire need. I do recommend this because they love to rip the pads. If you see your pup trying to rip make a sound like ah ah. Something telling them no but don't use the word no. Good luck.

Golden Retriever pup's are the 4th smartest dogs. German Shepards are the 3rd. My German Shepard Pup easily removed the cups & began to chew them. If you pup is teething, I would suggest the puzzle with the flaps & spin containers instead of this one. I don't know how old your puppy is but mine was just 5 mo. old when I purchased this product. I gave it to a neighbor with a Peekapoo. He is playing with it & the cups are to large for his mouth. I hope this helps you to decide. I found it to be troublesome for a large breed dog.

bulldog puppy is ok but whet the puppy becomes an adult dog you will need a bigger one definitely!

I wouldnt recommend it before 1 month. I started using it at about 1 month. I needed to watch him closely because he didn't have head control and would slump to the side occasionally. At 1 month he wasn't focusing on the toys so I didn't put those on at that time. He loved the vibrations early on! Now he is 4 months and loves the toys. I hook other toys on for variety.

It is not difficult to do. I have a 4 month old puppy (Blood hound-50lbs). Even when it is secure, the side is flexible. I push the middle seat forward, push the end (opening) out to allow the opening to face me...and let Duke jump up and in. It takes practice, but if your dog is used to riding, it is no different then them jumping in and into a seat. Good Luck!

I would think she'd definitely grow into it. I have a 11 pound, 5 month old small puppy who I got a small kong for; it took her awhile to stay interested in trying to get the treat out. Now she's figured out how to keep working at it until the treat breaks apart and she can get to it. It sure helps to keep her occupied for awhile and with the chewing phase.

Compare the ingredients list to see how different the two are. But usually it is recommended to transition over the course of 7 days. And the age of a "puppy" depends on the breed. Smaller breeds are fully grown at 9 months, medium at 1 year, and large breeds are puppies until they are 2. I would check with your veterinarian to see when switching to adult food would be best.

I would suggest the tall bowl if you want it to last. If your puppy is 8 weeks or so when you get him I would suggest you remove the bowls from the holder and place them on the floor till the puppy gets taller.

No puppies under 12 weeks and for puppies less than 3 pounds but over 12 weeks they can be treated by wiping their hair with a cloth sprayed with Ovitrol except their eyes, nose, and mouth. It suggests spraying a towel with Ovitrol and wrapping the puppy up for 5-10 minutes. I hope this helps, I've treated my grown dog and like the product. I bought it because I hate the smell of Adams, this has an odor just not as obnoxious as Adams and the smell goes away pretty quick.

I also have a 3 month old puppy as well as my 4 year old, I plan on checking with our vet at a good age to start puppies on salmon oil. I suggest you check with your vet.

I would ask my vet before feeding ANY food larger than puppy food to a small breed 10 week old puppy. Better safe than sorry. Best wishes!
