I have a puppy sleeve that I let him tug with, he goes crazy playing with it, at what point should I let him start hitting the sleeve on a decoy? His baby teeth are out, I understand to let his adult teeth develop but what age are others out there starting their pups on the sleeve? COL Nathan R. Jessup for President

I don't do it all the time, just want to have them introduced to the helper and the sleeve. I take it pretty easy on them at this stage. They go to the field a few times a month as I've done since they were 12 wks old. Reg. training will start next month. Angela W. Vom Landholz GSD's http://www.vomlandholz.com

He's been exposed to the sleeve for about 2 1/2 months. His first sleeve was a softer puppy sleeve with a very good motivational trainer. He's up to about 5 mins time on the field now and absolutely loves it. Good TD/Helper work is the key to good puppy work. old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks
