1. When he is 8 weeks old.
2. When he is 16 weeks old.
3. When he is 22 weeks old.
Puppy training is not something you should start until after your puppy is 6 months old. This is because puppies have a hard time learning new things until they are 6 months old. Once they reach 6 months old, however, they can learn almost anything you teach them.

The Alpha Rollover Method teaches your puppy to do what you tell him to do without any problems. In order to do this, you must be consistent. You cannot leave your puppy alone for long periods of time and then expect him to remember what you taught him. You must make sure that he knows what you want him to do. This is why it is important to train him at least 3 times a day.
If you train your puppy once a day, he will forget what you taught him in less than 24 hours. He will also get bored with training. If you train him more often, he will be able to learn faster. The more often you train him, the better he will get at obeying your commands.

You must be consistent when you are training your puppy. If you are not, he will never learn to do what you want him to do without problems. If you are not consistent, you will find that your puppy does not obey your commands.

The Alpha Rollover method is an excellent way to train your puppy. It has been used successfully by professional trainers all over the country. It will teach your puppy to do whatever you tell him to do without problems.
