age to begin electric fence puppy training ,command to come

my german shepherd is 4 months old and doesn't like to "come". Also, we have an electric fence for our other dogs. Would it be too soon to train him at 5 months,. He is large and intelligent.
Blazen:

From the research that I've done, the lowest age for electric fence training I've seen is 4 months and the highest age is 6 months. I would ere on the side of caution and not begin electric fence training until your puppy was 6 months old. This will allow the dog to mature and grow larger in size. Electric fences ARE NOT for small dogs.

Secondly, puppies don't respond to commands under 3 months, and since your puppy is only four months old, he's still in the early stages of understanding. Be patient, and your dog will learn to come soon enough.

Blackchef:

thanks very much. Jake is a large boned german shepherd and likes to follow his 7 1/2 year old sister, a chessie into the woods. We have decided that at least 6 months. The fence has worked well for my other dogs.
