When to House Train a Dog

It is to be seen that you bring home a pup that is not more than 6-7 weeks old. Because it is easy to train him at an early stage. It is during this period that his behavior can be moulded properly. Once the pup crosses 7 weeks of age, it gets difficult to inculcate new habits in him because by then he already learns and develops some set patterns of behavior which can get very difficult to be changed or modified later.
