From Mannerly Puppy to AKC Senior Hunter

From 7-8 weeks old - immediately teach Touch and continue to do. It will come in handy in the future.

Touch is a critical game to teach a young puppy. Simply present the palm of your hand, command "Touch" and have your body language and your free hand bringing the puppy to you on their string. Praise as soon as their nose touches you, then release with an "Ok" command. This single command has multiple future training applications which I will explain in more detail later.

For now, teach "Touch" as this is far harder to teach an adult dog.
