SERIOUS TRAINING

• At about six months of age, the puppy is ready to start the more serious stages of training
• Dogs younger than this lack the ability to concentrate on more demanding training.
• Training periods should be held once or twice a day, be short in the beginning and gradually increase to 15 to 30 minutes at a time.
• Longer training periods will tire the dog and may bore it.
• Do not forget to correct the dog immediately and be generous with praise when it performs well.
