I'd say that more expirenced trainers say that to new handlers because new people tend to pressure dog too much too fast (everybody likes that cute fast down from 5mo pup when it wants cookie). Trouble is when that same pup starts to feel its wings and won't listen; so now what? Its too young for compulsion and it already _knows_ commands.
I think that is critical period most new handlers make mistake (i was stopped at time, luckily) by pressuring dog when it is not time for drill.
So if you can live with dog that is little "more active" and you don't have to make him good citizen by the age of 6mo (so you could take him to park to play with all the other good doggys) i'd say go very slow with the dog. Let him play.
On the other hand, i might be wrong - not the first or the last time <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
