Depending on the size of the dog, a dog that's three human years is roughly 28 years in "dog years".
If a dog is a year old, that is the equivalent of 15 in human years (not seven as it used to be thought).
When a dog reaches the age of two, he is already approximately 24 in human years.
Add four years to every year after age two. For example, a three-year-old dog is equivalent to 28 in human years; a four-year-old is 32, a five-year-old, 36, a six-year-old, 40--and so on.
Take the dog's size into consideration, since smaller dogs generally have longer life spans than larger dogs, with toy breeds tending to live the longest and giant breeds, the shortest. For example, according to the above method, a six-year-old dog is considered 40 in human years, when in fact a larger dog may actually be closer to 42.

∙ 12y agoThe concept of "dog years" is a myth, and is no longer accepted by the veterinary world. Different breeds age differently, and even individuals within a breed age differently. A dog year is 365 days, just like humans, rabbits, and amoebas.

When do dogs turn seven?
I think you are asking how many human years it takes for a dog to turn seven in dog years. People used to think dogs aged 7 years for every one year a human ages but this has been found to be inaccurate. Dogs age faster when they are under two years and slower when they are over two. Dogs also age at different rates depending on their size and breed. See the dog breed calculator link below to calculate your dog's age.

The Senior Dogs Project website has a good table which depicts a dog's age in human years according to their weight.
