we purchased our 2 GS puppies who are now almost 3 months old as soon as we bought them i put collars on both of them, they initially didnt like them but have now got well and truly used to them, after that we introduced leads a week before they were getting their final boosters, and they didnt go down to well, however 3-4 times of sit down protests they are well and truly used to them. Now when they hear the leads jangling they are in a competition to see who gets to the front door first. Enjoy your little friend. Take care.

straight away as untill he has his jabs he will not be microchipped
it will not take long for your pup to get used to a correctly fitted collar - use lots of treats
remember to remove the collar from your pup if they stay alone in a dog crate so they stay safe

Usually within the first week. There are so many 'new experiences' that a puppy is experiencing that it's a good time to do it. Some breeders will put id collars on their puppies before you get them but if yours hasn't had one before he may try to get one off at first. make sure it's a puppy collar or use a cat collar and let him get used to it. If he's trying to get it off just distract him and praise him when he stops. After a few days, introduce the lead, let him drag it around but make sure he can't catch it on anything, and leave it on just for a few minutes at first, then gradually increase the time. Once he's used to that then you can start holding the lead and gently walk him around in the garden or house.
Good luck and above all enjoy this time, they don't stay puppies long.

woohoo you got a cocker spaniel me to!! lol anyway moving on …
I think you should put it on straight away because
1. The puppy can get used to it and grow with it
2. So you can take the puppy for a walk
3. So if the puppy eva runs away somebody can identify a little tag you normally put on it

Please put a soft coller on straight away so he will get used to it. I t is so much easier than waiting until he is old enough to object!
