Training a younger or older dog: Every dog's behavior and temperament varies. A dog that is well-trained today may not necessarily remain that way forever. New sets of problems ca develop and existing problems tend to get worse. Therefore, the training process should be a continual one.

Most experts will agree with the statement that the best time to begin training your dog is as soon as you desire.

Resources on Obedience Training: There are many books and manuals available which can guide you through basic dog training step by step. There are also many obedience training classes organized by pet associations, organizations and even some veterinarians.
