How Long Does It Take to Train a Puppy? Plus, 5 Factors That Speed Up Puppy Learning


Listen Later

One of the most common questions in our private online community is “how long does it take to train a puppy”. Often, that wonder is accompanied by the realization that training a puppy can be a lot of hard work.


Naturally, we want our puppies to learn quickly. 


BUT, that’s not always the case. 


While many behaviors can be learned in 3-6 months (or more… or less), so many factors can influence how fast your puppy will learn new behaviors.


And on top of that, putting “timelines” on your puppy’s learning is a serious trap! 😨


5 Factors That Influence How Long It Takes a Puppy to Be Fully Trained

  1. Your dog
  2. Training frequency, techniques, and expertise
  3. Behavior (ie Sit vs Recall)
  4. Household environment
  5. Bad habits
