How much does it weigh.
Coming from good old Ludlow farming stock I learned very early on the best way of training a puppy is put it with an well trained adult dog.
It is so easy if you do that. The pup just copies.

I am a huge believer in the more time you spend socialising with your dog, the better the dog becomes.

As dog owners, we're in a pretty small minority in believing that the dog should be trained to behave in the way that we want it to, not allowed to do what it wants to do.
By 2 yo, the dog should be pretty much trained - at least in all the basic commands (recall, sit, down, etc) and behaviours (not pulling on a lead). It only gets harder to train as the dog gets older because they then have to unlearn the behaviours that they've already learned are acceptable (like not sitting, or whatever).
Trying to train an untrained 2yo Alsatian (an intelligent and strong breed) is likely to need a lot of effort and probably some professional help. But that depends on whether the owners are happy with the dog as it is - as I said, we're probably in the minority in having dogs that are (very) well trained.
