When Does Puppy Training Start? From First Breath to Forever Home
From First Breath to Forever Home 🐾
Most people think training begins when a puppy goes home at eight weeks.
But the truth is… it starts the moment they take their first breath.
Before their eyes ever open.
Before they hear your voice.
Before they wobble across the floor.
They are learning.
In those first two weeks, they navigate the world by scent and touch. They learn warmth. Safety. Mama’s heartbeat.
Then their eyes open. Their ears follow.
And besides their mama… we are the first humans they see. The first voices they begin to recognize. The first hands that gently hold them.
That early exposure matters more than most people realize.
By four and five weeks, curiosity takes over. They test textures under their paws. They explore space. They begin building confidence.
By five to seven weeks, personalities bloom. They learn social skills. Bite inhibition. They’re gently introduced to everyday sounds so the world doesn’t feel overwhelming later.
Those eight short weeks here at Maine Aim Ranch Dogs are not just about cuddles and cute photos.
They’re about foundation.
Confidence.
Structure.
Trust.
Leadership.
Training doesn’t begin when they come home.
That’s simply where you continue the work that started from day one.
