Thank you for using Pet Coach. Luffy is old enough to have plenty of teeth in order to chew, so you can give him treat anytime. However, be cautious in how many you give and how many different things you give as you don’t want to cause him any vomiting or diarrhea. In my house I use pieces of my dogs normal dog food as training treats. He loves them and it never upsets his stomach. Best of luck and I hope you enjoy training your puppy? Thank you for using Pet Coach.
