Although this can vary, puppies usually begin to recognize their name between 6 and 8 weeks of age. It all depends on how consistently you teach them and how frequently you use their name.

This is what I found to be effective: I made calling my puppy’s name a joyful occasion, filled with lots of treats and good vibes. After a week or so of practice, my puppy began to respond reliably.

Just keep in mind not to use their name excessively or in a disparaging manner, such as when reprimanding them. You want them to think of it as positive. Most puppies have it down pat by the time they are 10 to 12 weeks old.
