Hey guys,pls i have a female puppy which is about 2months old. My question now is,when will i start chaining her? Is it good to start chaining her now?

allow her to enjoy her childhood now and be a puppy.
only chain her when it's necessary and don't do it for long. when she's older then you can chain her

And what’s the purpose of chaining?

to be honest, it's not really necessary as long as you're in a fenced compound.
I allow my dog roam free in my compound I never chain him even when visitors are around, I lock him in his kennel untethered.
but if their is a chance the puppy will be a nuisance roaming around, then you can chain it or lock it in a kennel although at this age, not for very long.
it needs to run around and play at this age, it's also how it learns and socializes.

The correct age to start chaining a puppy is when it reaches 5 months.

I chain my own dogs to feed them and keep them out of trouble then let them loose a few hours a day late in the night to exercise and play.

But can’t dogs be allowed to roam freely?

Definitely not mine, they will bite people, they almost bit our house helps on several occasions and they are very destructive too, if I let them roam around freely for long periods of time, they will scatter everything around the compound not to mention shitting around places that they are not supposed to.

So where does training come in?

my dog doesn't destroy things and he isn't mischievous. he has been roaming around since he was 4 weeks old, he only attacks and barks at strangers apart from that he's well mannered.
I don't really suggest chaining a dog to a spot,if the dog should be secluded from people, lock them up in a kennel instead.
my dog shows negative characters if he gets chained, he is reluctant to bark at strangers, he runs around trying to destroy things or bite people, and he cries. in my opinion, chaining a dog affects it's Psyche.
