I wouldn't want a dog that young doing a 3 day seminar, but I was at a seminar given by an RCMP officer, and we had pups as young as 3-4 mo. taking part. The did well, too...he made it all a game for them! But I remember one of them just lying down on the track torwards the end of the day, and wanting to go to sleep.
Star was about 7 or 8 mo. at the time, and she handled it really well.
