How old should a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel be before trying to train it to sit, heel etc?
Most Cavalier King Charles Spaniel breeders will not place a puppy until at least 10 weeks of age and many 12 weeks of age. I recommend beginning basic training at 10 weeks or as soon as you bring your puppy home. You will want to keep the training sessions very short at this early age and the training must be fun at all times without anything negative in any way. By starting your training early with your puppy you and your puppy will both enjoy the deeper bond it forms between you and your puppy.
