At what age do puppies start to learn?

Young puppies have short attention spans but you can expect them to begin to learn simple obedience commands such as “sit,” “down,” and “stay,” as young as 7 to 8 weeks of age. Formal dog training has traditionally been delayed until 6 months of age. Actually, this juvenile stage is a very poor time to start.

Will my 3 month old puppy forget me after a week?

In my experience, the short answer: YES! Your dog will definitely remember you.

Puppy raisers may not see their puppies again for 6-12 months, sometimes even longer.
