start training pup @7-8months old? no way!! the best age is at min. 3months old. u know, i started training Spike (gsd x rott) @2months old though the best age is 3months. i thought of being a bit ambitious so i started training @2months old. he did surprise me & picked up commands quite fast. now he's 6.5months & already knows 10 commands. if it's agility training then you can start when the dog is already 1yr old. that includes guard dog training too, as i was told by someone who works in the vet dept.
