When can i start? 🐶 — ViBaDog (Kopie)

Before we start with the actual training, there are a few basic but very important points we should clarify first.

And the first one is simple:

It is never too late to start heelwork in dog sports.

It does not matter whether you have:

✅ an eight-week-old puppy
✅ a young dog
✅ or an eight-year-old dog

This type of heelwork can be built with dogs of any age.

If you currently have a puppy at home and are wondering:

“When can I actually start heelwork?”

then the answer is:

➡️ Right away.

You do not need to wait until your dog is older before starting with the foundations.

💡 What matters is not the age of the dog, but how you build the training.

With a clear, age-appropriate setup and plenty of motivation, you can start laying the foundation for later heelwork from the very beginning. 🐕‍🦺✨
