A new puppy brings a lot of excitement and frustration into your life. Of course obedience training is a necessity if you want a well-adapted and well-behaved dog. For your sake and the dog’s, you need to use positive techniques when you train him. It is important to be consistent and extremely patient when training your dog. Put aside some times every day to train your pet. Twenty to thirty minutes is fine, since that is the longest time they usually pay attention for. Your puppy will get bored and not be able to focus after 30 minutes.
