| Anywhere between 7-9 weeks old. Six weeks is to young and they still need to be with there mom. Between 7-9 weeks and get ready for house training, vet vaccinations and other habbits. 10-12 weeks your puppy will be, physically more coordinated, and can see more clearly, so he is becoming more inquisitive, bold and courageous. This is when you wanna start with the grooming and the training, basic commands and house training.

I think 8 weeks seems to be the norm. If you get your dog from a good breeder, you shouldnt have to worry about the pups balance or lack of sociolization, or obiedience. My good friend who breeds German Sheperds makes sure her pups have all the right exposure including potty training before they go home. Many of her puppies dont go home until they are much older because they are sent to Germany. In my experience with 8 different breeds, how they are whelped and raised before the 8 weeks really determines how well they adapt and learn.

I am doing reasech on socialization and age for when my sheltie has puppies. I want to make sure they have the best possible start in life, and are healthy well rounded pups.
