Q. My puppy is 2 month old now. Is it possible to train him at this age?
A. To properly train a dog to go to the bathroom at the same time and t do #1 & #2 you need to pu the puppy in a crate while in the house, then take puppy outside to use the bathroom in the same place each time & reward puppy (very important) If puppy doesn't go take back in and put back in the crate and try again in a half hour or so
How soon can my puppy go out after her 3rd vaccinations?
Q. My puppy is 14 weeks old and just had her 3rd round of shots. How soon is it safe for her to go outside?
A. The correct rule is after all the puppy vacines have been completed. Especially the shots for Parvo than you should wait at least 10 days after the date of the shots.
When does a puppy start to eat puppy food?
Q. How old does a puppy need to be when he stops eating milk and starts to eat puppy food?
A. Weaning normally starts towards the end of the 3rd week. I started by offering a little warmed goats milk, holding each puppy on my knee to encourage it to lap. Once that's sorted out, you mix a good quality puppy food with the milk, or just water, into a porridge and after making sure each puppy individually can eat it, start putting shallow bowls down for them all to pitch in. They will need feeding 4 solid meals a day, with mum still topping them up until around 6 weeks at which point she'll be away from them. I also gave my pups a very tiny amount of raw lean hamburger, once a day. It's tempting to give them more to begin with, but at 3/4 weeks, they should still be taking most of their nourishment from mum. By 5/6 weeks, she will probably want to go in to clean up after their meals, and allow comfort suckling - standing up, but that's all.
The transition must be slow so you don't overload their immature digestive systems.

When training new puppy - should I separate him from our older dog?
Q. Or would the new puppy benefit from seeing our older dog doing tricks? We have a 3.5 year old lab right now and are planning to adopt a lab mix puppy. Should I seperate them during trainings or keep them together? Thanks for any tips!
Yes, this will be my first time having two dogs at once, so ANY other helpful advice is welcomed! :)

A. I would do one on one training with the puppy every day, and then do some training with both of them at the same time where the older one will guide the puppy. Also make sure you do one on one with your older one to make sure she is still feeling like the puppy isn't getting all the attention.
