Howard Scott Webboard User Reg: 11-19-2001 Posts: 225 Loc: Offline	I am wondering how old a dog needs to be before he/she needs corrections. My dog is 12 mos. I have been doing motivational obedience since she was a pup, but I started correcting my male dog this early and I think it might have had a negative effect on him. I do not want to do the same with her. Am I rushing?

That being said, I guess you would have to decide it your dog is disobeying you, or just not doing something because she doesn't know it well enough yet. Robert

Your dog is more than old enough at 12 months. Age is not the #1 factor.(Of course you don't correct the snot out of young puppies)It is not fair to correct a dog for not obeying a command he does not know. This sounds very remedial and simplistic but it does answer your question.
