Training and rewards should be kept short: no more than four times a day and no more than fifteen minutes a day. When the puppy behaves well, reward it with food and verbally praise it:
1. Kneel down next to the sitting puppy and hold one hand tightly Hold the collar and use the other hand to show it that delicious food attracts its attention, calling it its name at this time.
