Keep training sessions short (five to 10 minutes at a time) – and focus on training one behaviour before ending the session with a fun game. Be patient. If pup is struggling, stop and go back a step and progress more slowly next time. Have fun and enjoy yourself – if either of you aren’t, pick it up another day.

Keep it short, keep it happy and always end on a successful and positive note. A session that ends with both of you happy is a successful session. End the session on a success; go back to an easy obedience position if you need to – then give a big reward and let your dog know the session is over. Following a training session with play, a meal or a walk is a positive way to end the session. The whole session may only last less than 5 minutes – do not keep going so long that your puppy/dog looses interest in the training.
