Should I wait until my puppy is 6 months old before I start training him/her?

On the latest episode of The Family Pupz Podcast, we asked the founder of Paws For Thought Dog Training, Maddie Messina, whether we should wait until our puppy is 6 months old before training him/her.

We loved what she said about making training less cue/command focused, and more about prioritizing the building of positive associations.
