The most important part of the beginning stages of training is to develop a relationship with the puppy that will create a bond or a partnership. This will be based on respect and kindness. This will create a partnership that will last forever. Good training is not one giant lesson, but small and gentle lessons that mold the puppy to be the model that we want.
Dogs have a very short attention span, so short, frequent sessions will allow her to learn best.
