Answer
Hi,  you can start training a dog as soon as they can understand their name and comprehend the word "no" as a negative term.  Basically this shows that their brain is comprehending.  Normally this process can start as early as 10 weeks old.  A good site for German Shepherds is:

Hope this helps, and good luck.
